Code of Honor
by Alan Gratz
3.5 stars
Code of Honor by Alan Gratz is about a boy named Kamran Smith, one of the most popular boys at school. However, his whole life is turned upside down when he finds out from the news that his brother is a terrorist. This book was action-packed and touched on critical themes of Islamophobia, prejudice, and family. The historical elements of this book were also wonderful, and I can see it being super insightful for today's children who grew up post-9/11. That being said, parts of the book were wildly unrealistic and predictable which took away from my enjoyment. However, I think any middle school reader would really enjoy this book!
