Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer

5.0

I don’t normally read YA books, but I won this one on. Goodreads Giveaway which I entered to help stock my Little Free Library. This book was a delight to read, not only for the late 70s culture references, but also to see Jasmine come into her own and embracing her identity during a time of crisis. In 1979, I only saw one side of the hostage situation from both the news and my piano teacher talking about her son-in-law who was one of the hostages. I now hope to find a young person to pass the book along to in hopes that it will open their eyes to look at both sides of world events and how they effect the ordinary people around them.
