Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim Boyer

4.0

An all too real look at how diaspora students can be affected by global events in such a different way than everyone else. Especially for mixed students. The way that Jasmine had to deal with the hostage situation, even though it seemingly wouldn't affect her was painfully too real.

Also incredibly impressive was how this book read so contemporary (true to Wednesday Books) but was historical fiction. This book takes place in the 1970's but the prose doesn't feel dated at all. The only real time markers were moments where it mentions technology. This book is meant to be read today and it shows.
