But there''s no scientific explanation when Aria suddenly finds herself falling through parallel universes. And there''s no formula to explain how she keeps meeting Rohan (her now ex-boyfriend) in every new universe she falls into. After being ripped away from her world seconds before a tragedy occurs, Aria is left with two mindbending, physics-defying conudrums - can she navigate the multiverse and get home to save her family?

★ “[Ahmed] employs high stakes, increasing tensions, romantic near-misses, and adult hypocrisy to powerful effect.” –Publisher''s Weekly, starred review From the New York Times bestselling author of Internment comes a timely and gripping social-suspense novel about book banning, activism, and standing up for what you believe. After her dad abruptly abandons her family and her mom moves them a million miles from their Chicago home, Noor Khan is forced to start the last quarter of her senior year at a new school, away from everything and everyone she knows and loves. Reeling from being uprooted and deserted, Noor is certain the key to survival is to keep her head down and make it to graduation. But things aren’t so simple. At school, Noor discovers hundreds of books have been labeled “obscene” or “pornographic” and are being removed from the library in accordance with a new school board policy. Even worse, virtually all the banned books are by queer and BIPOC authors. Noor can’t sit back and do nothing, because that goes against everything she believes in, but challenging the status quo just might put a target on her back. Can she effect change by speaking up? Or will small-town politics—and small-town love—be her downfall?

Pero mientras lucha entre la elección de sus padres y sus propios deseos, su mundo se ve sacudido por un horrible acto de terrorismo cuando un suicida, que también se apellida Aziz, ataca en el corazón de Estados Unidos y amenaza con alterar el curso de su vida para siempre. ¿Qué le sucede a una familia musulmana cuando su comunidad es consumida de repente por el odio y el miedo?

La résistance se construit sur l''espoir Deux ans et demi depuis l''élection. Un an depuis que nos réponses sur le formulaire du recensement nous ont valu d''être indexés.

Avec l''aide d''amis d''infortune, eux aussi piégés derrière les barbelés, de son petit ami resté à l''extérieur, et d''alliés inattendus, Layla entame un chemin de lutte pour la liberté et mène la révolte contre le directeur du camp et ses gardiens. Résistance met au défi les lecteurs d''agir et de briser le silence coupable qui gangrène notre société. « Un livre dérangeant et important à notre époque. » Publishers Weekly « Samira Ahmed s''attaque à l''islamophobie et au racisme d''une plume captivante, authentique et profondément humaine. » Kirkus « Une histoire poignante et nécessaire, qui dépeint avec franchise et réalisme la haine et l''ignorance, mais donne également espoir aux lecteurs et aux minorités. » Booklist

This powerful, gripping thriller from a New York Times bestselling author shows the insidious nature of racism, the terrible costs of unearthing hidden truths—and the undeniable power of hope. Safiya Mirza dreams of becoming a journalist. And one thing she’s learned as editor of her school newspaper is that a journalist’s job is to find the facts and not let personal biases affect the story. But all that changes the day she finds the body of a murdered boy. Jawad Ali was fourteen years old when he built a cosplay jetpack that a teacher mistook for a bomb. A jetpack that got him arrested, labeled a terrorist—and eventually killed. But he’s more than a dead body, and more than “Bomb Boy.” He was a person with a life worth remembering. Driven by Jawad’s haunting voice guiding her throughout her investigation, Safiya seeks to tell the whole truth about the murdered boy and those who killed him because of their hate-based beliefs. This gripping and powerful book uses an innovative format and lyrical prose to expose the evil that exists in front of us, and the silent complicity of the privileged who create alternative facts to bend the truth to their liking.

Discover New York Times bestseller Samira Ahmed’s romantic, sweeping adventure through the streets of Paris told in alternating narratives that bridge centuries, continents, and the lives of two young Muslim women fighting to write their own stories. Smash the patriarchy. Eat all the pastries. It’s August in Paris and 17-year-old Khayyam Maquet—American, French, Indian, Muslim—is at a crossroads. This holiday with her parents should be a dream trip for the budding art historian. But her maybe-ex-boyfriend is ghosting her, she might have just blown her chance at getting into her dream college, and now all she really wants is to be back home in Chicago figuring out her messy life instead of brooding in the City of Light. Two hundred years before Khayyam’s summer of discontent, Leila is struggling to survive and keep her true love hidden from the Pasha who has “gifted” her with favored status in his harem. In the present day—and with the company of Alex, a très charmant teen descendant of Alexandre Dumas—Khayyam searches for a rumored lost painting, uncovering a connection between Leila and Alexandre Dumas, Eugène Delacroix, and Lord Byron that may have been erased from history. Echoing across centuries, Leila and Khayyam’s lives intertwine, and as one woman’s long-forgotten life is uncovered, another’s is transformed.
