Amina's Voice by Hena Khan
5.0
Amina is a sixth grader at a middle school in Detroit, struggling to find her place in the new landscape. Her best friend Soojin is becoming an American Citizen and is attempting to find her new American name. Soojin has also become friends with Emily - a girl who has not been pleasant or nice to the other girls in her class, ever. Amina is worried about what kind of mean tricks Emily has up her sleeve when she befriends Soojin.
When Amina accidentally mentions that Emily has a crush on a boy in the class, things in this sticky friendship get even stickier, with ugly names and accusations thrown around. Amina is worried that her actions have forever ended her friendship with Soojin.
Things take an unexpected turn when the Mosque is vandalized. Hateful graffiti, vandalism, priceless objects destroyed, and a fire almost destroy the heart of the Muslim community.
The tale of how this community comes together to defeat hate reminds us just how good we can be when we look at our commonalities instead of our differences.
