Bookroo's summary
In modern Egypt, young Magid yearns to fast during Ramadan like his sister, Aisha, despite his parents' objections. As he navigates the challenges of fasting, Magid's determination leads to unexpected discoveries about faith and family. Will his resolve bring him closer to the traditions he cherishes, or will it reveal new insights about himself and his beliefs? Join Magid on a heartfelt journey that explores the essence of Ramadan and the bonds that unite us.
From the publisher
It is the first day of Ramadan, the month when good Muslims eat nothing and drink nothing all day, every day, from sunrise to sunset. Mama and Baba have told Magid he isn’t old enough to fast, but even Magid’s sister, Aisha, is fasting, and Magid doesn’t want to wait. Set in present-day Egypt, Magid Fasts for Ramadan satisfyingly recounts Magid’s struggle and its surprising and happy resolution, and offers an illuminating introduction to the beliefs and practices of Islam.
