Saints and Misfits is an unforgettable debut novel that
feels like a modern day My So-Called Life…starring a
Muslim teen. There are three kinds of people in my world: 1. Saints, those special people moving the world forward.
Sometimes you glaze over them. Or, at least, I do.
They’re in your face so much, you can’t see them, like
how you can’t see your nose. 2. Misfits, people who don’t belong. Like me—the way I
don’t fit into Dad’s brand-new family or in the leftover
one composed of Mom and my older brother, Mama’s-Boy-
Muhammad. Also, there’s Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because although,
alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good
together, we don’t go together. Same planet, different
worlds. But sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen,
right? 3. Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in
Flannery O’Connor’s stories. Like the monster at my mosque. People think he’s holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen
under the mask. Except me.
