📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
by Arvin Ahmadi
Saaket "Scott" Ferdowsi
was supposed to be spending his summer at an internship his parents arranged
for him. Instead, he takes advantage of their trip back to Iran to head to D.C.
in search of a professor and author to discuss her book about grit. This trip
also leads him to crossword-obsessed Fiora, who gets Scott to break-out of his
comfort zone and becomes a part of his eye-opening trip.
While Scott and Fiora’s relationship
is an important factor in this story, this is not a romance and simply about
Scott growing up and changing his ways. Scott’s obsession with grit and Fiora’s
obsession with crosswords may be confusing to some readers but one does not
need to really understand it to enjoy this book.
A crossword is included in the back
of the book for readers to solve but please make a copy and DO NOT write in the
book.
