In the companion novel to the beloved and award-winning Amina's
Voice, Amina once again uses her voice to bridge the places, people,
and communities she loves--this time across continents.
It's the last few days of an amazing trip to Pakistan, and Amina finds
it hard to leave the sights, the shops, and, most of all, her family. As
she heads back to Greendale to start seventh grade, the experience has
changed her, and she's eager to share it with her friends.
At home, though, Amina discovers her friends don't seem interested in
hearing about her trip. With everyone growing in different directions,
Amina wonders where she belongs--especially after her school
presentation on Malala goes sideways, leaving her feeling like nobody
understands both her worlds. When Amina turns to songwriting, a boy
named Nico who shares Amina's love for music becomes a welcome new
friend. Will Amina find a way to remain true to herself, and to honor
everyone and everything that make her who she is?
