Part of the Amina's Voice series
Amina struggles to connect her two worlds after a life-changing trip.
Amina returns from a transformative trip to Pakistan, eager to share her experiences. But her friends in Greendale seem uninterested, leaving her feeling disconnected. After a school presentation on Malala goes awry, Amina questions where she truly belongs. As she turns to songwriting, she finds solace in a new friendship with Nico, a fellow music lover. Can Amina bridge the gap between her two worlds and stay true to herself?
In the companion novel to the beloved and award-winning Amina’s Voice, Amina once again uses her voice to bridge the places, people, and communities she loves–this time across continents. It’s the last few days of her vacation in Pakistan, and Amina has loved every minute of it. The food, the shops, the time she’s spent with her family–all of it holds a special place in Amina’s heart. Now that the school year is starting again, she’s sad to leave, but also excited to share the wonders of Pakistan with her friends back in Greendale. After she’s home, though, her friends don’t seem overly interested in her trip. And when she decides to do a presentation on Pakistani hero Malala Yousafzai, her classmates focus on the worst parts of the story. How can Amina share the beauty of Pakistan when no one wants to listen?
