Here To Stay

"Bijan Majidi is a pretty typical high school kid – he gets good grades, plays basketball and reads comics. He has friends but isn’t super popular. That changes after Bijan scores the winning basket in a big game. But as he becomes more popular, he also becomes the target of a smear campaign that paints him as a terrorist. Sara Farizan’s YA novel feels true both to the moment and the teenage experience – and I suspect both adults and teens will tear right through it."
