Résumé :

From Saadia Faruqi and Shazleen Khan comes a relatable, funny, and heart-wrenchingly honest graphic novel about Muslim American siblings who must learn how to stop fighting and support each other in a world that is often unkind.

It's hard enough being a kid without being teased for a funny sounding name or wearing a hijab.

It's even harder when you're constantly fighting your sibling-and Zara and Zeeshan really can't stand each other. During a family trip to Florida, when the bickering, shoving, and insults reach new heights of chaos, their parents sentence them to the worst possible fate- each other's company! But when the twins find an ailing turtle, it presents a rare opportunity for teamwork-if the two can put their differences aside at last.

Sommaire:

From Saadia Faruqi and Shazleen Khan comes a relatable, funny, and heart-wrenchingly honest graphic novel about Muslim American siblings who must learn how to stop fighting and support each other in a world that is often unkind.

Being a kid is hard enough without having to deal with teasing about your name, assumptions about your identity, or standing out because you wear a hijab. But for twins Zara and Zeeshan, the biggest challenge might just be each other.

The two siblings are constantly at war, trading insults, pushing buttons, and driving their parents to the brink. So when a family trip to Florida turns into their most chaotic battle yet, their parents deliver the ultimate punishment: they're stuck together with no escape.

But when Zara and Zeeshan discover an injured turtle in need of help, they're forced to put aside their differences and work as a team. Can they stop fighting long enough to save a tiny creature-and maybe discover that they're stronger together than they ever imagined?
