There are many books based upon siblings. Some authors base the plot on childhood upbringing. Others through their writing help us clearly visualize the rivalry factor. This one bares the soul and fate of two brothers born in Syria.
Malik and Jameel are just like any two young Muslim boys. Sadeem, and Amira, their parents, brought them up to be “Devoted Muslims.” Placing a high value on education, it was forbidden for the youngsters to watch a lot of television growing up. Ending up in the United States due to their father getting into trouble with his political position in Syria, the boys get a rude awakening entering “America’s Public School System” as foreigners.
Transitioning as “Home Schooled” students entering a high school in Florida, the brothers quickly learn to either sink or swim. As the plot UN-thickens, it’s great to see how Williams allows his readers to envision the twist, turns, highs, and lows of the Hamid Brothers journey. Although there are a few grammatical errors, it does not deter the fact that this story is great as well as one excitable read from the beginning to the end.
