Book Summary
A Schneider Family Book Award Honoree From beloved middle grade author Saadia Faruqi comes a poignant exploration of the impact of mental illness on familiesβand the love and hope that it takes to begin telling a different tale. Mo is used to his fatherβs fits of rage. When Abbus moods shake the house, Mo is safe inside his head, with his cherished folktales: The best way to respond is not to engage. Apparently, his mama knows that tooβwhich is why she took a job on the other side of the world, leaving Mo alone with Abbu. With Mama gone, the two move to Texas to live with Moβs aunt and cousin, Rayyan. The two boys could not be more different. Rayyan is achievement-driven and factual; Mo is a βbad kid." Still, there is a lot to like about living in Texas. Sundays at the mosque are better than heβd expected. And Rayyan and his aunt become a real family to Mo. But even in a warm home and school where he begins to see a future for himself, Mo knows that the monster within his father can break out and destroy their fragile peace at any momentβ¦ Coping with a Parents Mental Illness: A compassionate and honest look at a fathers schizophrenia and the impact it has on his son, Mo, who must learn to navigate the unpredictability of his dads "monster." Pakistani-American Characters: A heartfelt middle grade contemporary novel that explores cultural identity, from Sundays at the mosque in Houston to the cherished desi folktales that help Mo make sense of his world. Unlikely Cousins: When Mo, the self-proclaimed "bad kid," moves in with his high-achieving cousin Rayyan, the two boys must find common ground and forge a bond that could save them both. Coping with Anger: Explores how Mo channels his own complicated feelings through boxing, contrasting his own struggles with his fathers terrifying outbursts in a story full of heart and hope.
