Aisha and her sister Nadira are Bangladeshi-American girls living in NYC. After Sept. 11 happens, their family is forced to flee the States, because their dad's visa is long expired. But at the border with Canada, they're made to turn back and their dad is taken into custody--Canada doesn't want him, but the U.S. won't let him back in! So the girls return to live with family and have to go to school and pretend nothing is wrong. It's an interesting story about sisters, who are very different, and how they cope with this sudden reversal in their life. Good look at immigrant life today, and also family dynamics. First winner of the James Cook award for multicultural literature for youth.
