Kareem Between by Shifa Saltagi Safadi

4.5

Wow. This book packs quite an emotional gut punch with unfortunate resonance to current events even though the book focuses on events of the first iteration of the current administration. Kareem feels between worlds and ends up having to face this unintended consequences of his actions (hiding his dad's phone so he might not get in trouble at school) when national "policies" mean that his mom gets stuck trying to come home from Syria. I highly recommend this book for middle schoolers.
