Tahereh Mafi
A story set in 2002 after 9/11, A Very Large Expanse of Sea tells the story of sixteen-year-old Shirin, a Muslim girl tired of being stereotyped. She faces degrading comments and physical violence because of her race, religion, and hijab. To protect herself, she built up walls, but then she meets Ocean James, who wants to know more about her. This novel is a poignant exploration of identity, love, and prejudice.
