Bold graphics and a story that inspires compassion make this a terrific read. Adnan flees war-wracked Syria and lands in San Francisco. His skills on the skateboard allows him to make friends quickly, except with one large, surly classmate. Adnan, having experienced much scarier things than a bully, manages to bridge the gap.
Additional resources include a vocabulary glossary, a glossary of skateboard terms, and some "visual" discussion questions regarding how cartoonists use their art to tell a story.
