audioboek en e-book


From the critically acclaimed author of Aminaā€™s Voice comes a new story inspired by Louisa May Alcottā€™s beloved classic, Little Women, featuring four sisters from a modern American Muslim family living in Georgia.

When Jameela Mirza is picked to be feature editor of her middle school newspaper, sheā€™s one step closer to being an award-winning journalist like her late grandfather. The problem is her editor-in-chief keeps shooting down her article ideas. Jameelaā€™s assigned to write about the new boy in school, who has a cool British accent but doesnā€™t share much, and wonders how sheā€™ll make his story gripping enough to enter into a national media contest.

Jameela, along with her three sisters, is devastated when their father needs to take a job overseas, away from their cozy Georgia home for six months. Missing him makes Jameela determined to write an epic articleā€”one to make her dad extra proud. But when her younger sister gets seriously ill, Jameelaā€™s world turns upside down. And as her hunger for fame looks like it might cost her a blossoming friendship, Jameela questions what matters most, and whether sheā€™s cut out to be a journalist at allā€¦
