"The exact type of book I would've loved, and needed , as a kid." -Jasmine Warga, New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Honor recipient for Other Words for Home Seventh grade begins, and Kareem's already fumbled it. His best friend moved away, he messed up his tryout for the football team, and because of his heritage, he was volun told to show the new kid-a Syrian refugee with a thick and embarrassing accent-around school. Just when Kareem thinks his middle school life has imploded, the hotshot QB promises to get Kareem another tryout for the squad. There's a catch- to secure that chance, Kareem must do something he knows is wrong. Then, like a surprise blitz, Kareem's mom returns to Syria to help her family but can't make it back home. If Kareem could throw a penalty flag on the fouls of his school and home life, it would be for unnecessary roughness. Kareem is stuck between. Between countries. Between friends, between football, between parents-and between right and wrong. It's up to him to step up, find his confidence, and navigate the beauty and hope found somewhere in the middle. ** Winner of the 2024 National Book Award for Young People's Literature** Global Read Aloud Selection ** School Library Journal Best Middle Grade Book ** Chicago Public Library Best Fiction for Older Readers ** PEOPLE Magazine Best Kids Book ** Junior Library Guild Selection** Texas Lone Star Reading List selection ** Common Sense Media Selection for Families** Cybils Novel in Verse Award Winner** Jane Addams Children Book Award Finalist** ILA Notable Book for a Global Society** Bank Street's Best Children's Books of the Year**, This award-winning, heartfelt coming-of-age novel in verse tells the powerful story of a seventh-grade Syrian American boy and his struggles, big and small, as he navigates middle school.

    Great seller, product was as described, love these dates. Dates packed well, but postage cost is high, as expected though since ordering it from overseas. Have ordered before and will order again for sure.
