Meanwhile, she’s told no one about Farooq, a boy who recently tried to assault her. Janna’s only dared to tell her best friend about her own crush, classmate Jeremy, who isn’t Muslim.
He’s courting “Saint Sarah,” who seems to embody the perfect Muslim woman Janna does not aspire to be.
She’s less enthused about giving up her room when her older brother, Muhammad, moves back into the small apartment she shares with their mother. She willingly helps her Uncle Ali, the Imam at her mosque, with his thoughtful, engaging advice column. Teenager Janna Yusuf loves photography, the stories of Flannery O’Connor, and hanging out with friends. Published by Salaam Reads / Atheneum, 2017
