"Will leave you feeling moved and inspired. A must read!" β€” Cosmopolitan

A stunning debut about finding the strength to speak up against hate and fear, for fans of The Hate U Give and I Am Thunder.

People like me are devils before we are angels.

Hanan has always been good and quiet. She accepts her role as her school's perfect Muslim poster girl. She ignores the racist bullies. A closed mouth is goldβ€”it helps you get home in one piece. Then her friend is murdered and every Muslim is to blame.

The world is angry at us again. How can she stay silent while her family is ripped apart?

It's time for Hanan to stop being the quiet, good girl. It's time for her to stand up and shout.

About the Author

Ayaan Mohamud wrote her first ever book in lockdown and during NaNoWriMo, while also studying as a medical student, and it became her debut novel. It was inspired by her own experiences of Islamophobia and a desire to write about Somali culture, which she hopes to shine more of a light on in YA. She lives in London and can usually be found either writing or complaining about writing.
