Morris Award Finalist S.K. Ali comes an unforgettable romance that is The Sun Is Also a Star meets Anna and the French Kiss, following two Muslim teens who meet during a spring break trip. \n \nA marvel: something you find amazing. Even ordinary-amazing. Like potatoes--because they make French fries happen. Like the perfect fries Adam and his mom used to make together. \n \nAn oddity: whatever gives you pause. Like the fact that there are hateful people in the world. Like Zayneb's teacher, who won't stop reminding the class how bad Muslims are. \n \nBut Zayneb, the only Muslim in class, isn't bad. She's angry. \n \nWhen she gets suspended for confronting her teacher, and he begins investigating her activist friends, Zayneb heads to her aunt's house in Doha, Qatar, for an early start to spring break. \n \nFueled by the guilt of getting her friends in trouble, she resolves to try out a newer, nicer version of herself in a place where no one knows her. \n \nThen her path crosses with Adam's. \n \nSince he got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in November, Adam's stopped going to classes, intent, instead, on perfecting the making of things. Intent on keeping the memory of his mom alive for his little sister. \n \nAdam's also intent on keeping his diagnosis a secret from his grieving father. \n \nAlone, Adam and Zayneb are playing roles for others, keeping their real thoughts locked away in their journals. \n \nUntil a marvel and an oddity occurs... \n \nMarvel: Adam and Zayneb meeting. \n \nOddity: Adam and Zayneb meeting.\n
