amdame1 's review for:

Code of Honor by Alan Gratz
4.0

Kamran is an excellent football player, gets good grades, and is popular at school... until his older brother Darius is accused of being a terrorist! Kamran is convinced that his brother would never sell out his country and has been taken hostage and is acting under duress. He is determined to find a way to prove his brother's innocence no matter how dangerous that task may be.
A very interesting look at prejudice, friendship, and family relationships. Kamran's character feels very authentic as he wavers between loyalty to his brother and uncertainty when confronted with new evidence. Some violence. A very timely novel with the current situation in the Middle East.
