This book was very unique. I thought that the feeling brought out at different times in this book was very powerful. This book was about a young boy named Fadi, who lived in Kabul but has to come back to America to get away from the war currently happening. He lost Mariam, his little sister, on the way there. They do as much as they can to find her, while still living life in America. I loved the parts with suspense and the aftermath of it, like when they lost Mariam, but it got a little boring at times like when Fadi was at school being bullied by generic bully characters. This book feels very real to me as if this actually happened. (It is based on a real story, but not all of it is real.) I would recommend this book to people who like tragic stories that are based on very real problems.
