Nisrin is a middle schooler when she is attacked for wearing a head scarf. It’s a challenge getting back her life, but when high school begins she goes. She struggles at first to find her place, but it does get easier. The incident though has brought up terrible memories for Nisrin’s family who emigrated from Bangladesh to start a new life. The head scarf plays a role throughout the story. The story was very good, but the art was a little hard to follow. Sometimes it was too dark or didn’t really go with what was written. I would still highly recommend though.
