Book 27: Omar Rising by Aisha Saeed

Saw this new companion book to Amal Unbound and had to have it. Was able to get the book from the library. Reviewed for ages 10 and older.

Synopsis: In this compelling companion to New York Times bestseller Amal Unbound, Amal's friend Omar must contend with being treated like a second-class citizen when he gets a scholarship to an elite boarding school.

Review: I really enjoyed this book, maybe more than Amal Unbound. I like that Omar got his own book to explore his POV. Another book I would have in my classroom library. Omar is a great character, one that can connect with young readers. Hard work pays off! My rating 4.5 ⭐️.
