Eleven-year-old Zomorod, originally from Iran, tells her story of growing up Iranian in Southern California during the Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis of the late 1970.
I grew up during the Iranian Revolution and the hostage crisis. I was young and didn't remember a lot of what was going on at that time or perhaps my parents sheltered me from it. Either way I enjoyed learning more about that time. The plot was well written. I cared about Zomorod and her family. I was angry at the people that treated them poorly. I highly recommend this book to middle school students and older.
