A dazzling story with a whole lot of heart. Read it.Michael L. Printz Award winner Daniel Nayeri, author of Everything Sad Is Untrue

Funny on one page, poignant on the next, and often both at the same time, this beautiful tale of a tender, bewildered, and generous teen will find its way into readers hearts. #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Sue Park

Omid needs the right words to connect with his newly-met grandfather and distant Iranian heritage, words to tell a special girl what she means to him and to show everyone that he truly belongs in Tucson, Arizona, the only home hes ever known. Neither the school plays Shakespearian English nor his parents Farsi seems up to the task, and its only when Omid delves into the rhymes and rhythms of rap music that he starts to find his voice. But even as he does so, an act of terrorism transforms familiar accents into new threats.

Then a family member disappears, and it seems everyone but Omid knows why. When words fail altogether, and violence takes their place, what will Omid do next?
