Oh hai, Julia Alvarez ([b:Return to Sender|3236586|Return to Sender|Julia Alvarez|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1234063391s/3236586.jpg|3271108]), here is how you can write a YA book about undocumented immigrants without being patronizing to teenagers. Compelling and realistic (without being TOO much of a downer) and manages to tackle some pretty weighty issues regarding Muslims in America after 9/11 without being too preachy or unbelievable. The two sisters, Nadira and Aisha, cope with the stress of their father's arrest and possible deportment in different ways--Aisha starts shutting down and skipping school, while quiet and underachieved younger sister Nadira starts stepping up and trying to save her father.
