Shooting Kabul by N.H. Senzai
3.0
I really liked this story within a story. When Fadi's parents illegally flee Afghanistan, Fadi's little sister Mariam accidentally gets left behind in the rush to flee the Taliban. Fadi's family is devastated as they try to search for Mariam from their new home base in the U.S. Every family member faces the private guilt of feeling like they failed Mariam.
Meanwhile, the events of 9/11 occur as Fadi has been newly installed at his school and he and others like him (ie non whites) face bullying, racism, and hatred. Shooting Kabul is a story about the power of love and what can happen if a person has enough determination and persistence to let their love for a person drive them.
