Childrens
A powerful novel about fighting bullying and Islamophobia
and finding your voice-told with humor and heart by the
award-winning author of If You Could Be
Mine.
Bijan Majidi
is:
- Shy around
girls
- Really into
comics
- Decent at
basketball
Bijan Majidi is
not:
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 cyberbully 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 oranybody 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.
