A review by archytas
The Tribe by Michael Mohammed Ahmad

4.0

A series of coming of age vignettes that add up to a satisfying whole. Ahmad explores childhood-to-adolescence years, the joys and perils of tight-knit communities, and the changing relationships children of extended families. I really wish I didn't have to point out that these stories of Australians who rarely get to read stories about themselves, but I do. Don't read it for that though - read it because this book is sweet, and nostalgic and will make you feel like a tween again.
