What happens when a kid who’s flown under the radar for
most of high school gets pulled off the bench to make the
winning basket in a varsity playoff game. If his name is Bijan
Majidi, life is suddenly high fives in the hallways and
invitations to exclusive parties—along with an anonymous photo
sent by a school cyber bully that makes Bijan look like a
terrorist. The administration says they’ll find and punish the
culprit. Bijan wants to pretend it never happened. He’s not
ashamed of his Middle Eastern heritage; he just doesn’t want to
be a poster child for Islamophobia. Lots of classmates rally
around Bijan. Others make it clear they don’t want him or
anybody who looks like him at their school. But it’s not always
easy to tell your enemies from your friends. Here to Stay is a
painfully honest, funny, authentic story about growing up,
speaking out, and fighting prejudice.
Characters: 34. Amazon rating: 5 stars. Genre: Young Adult.
