Praise

A Quill & Quire 2022 Book of the Year
One of CCBC’s Best Books for Kids & Teens (Fall 2022)


“An ambitious novel that is both heartfelt and tongue-in-cheek.” Kirkus Reviews

“Mona’s voice is good-humored, and her diary entries—comprising lists, poems, and letters from supporting characters—amalgamate into a wise and introspective debut.” Publishers Weekly

“Upper elementary and middle grade readers will identify with this spunky, thoughtful, 12-year-old heroine . . . the short vignettes of this book are perfect for reluctant readers and may spark conversations about war, Operation Desert Storm, immigration, international affairs, the Muslim religion, and school equality for girls.” —School Library Journal

“Mona is a well-developed, believable protagonist. . . . An important story, delivered with a light touch.” CM: Canadian Review of Materials
