Description
Life’s not easy for Sami Sabiri, especially since his dad stuck him at a private boys’ school where he’s the only Muslim kid. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse.
When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious. Unfortunately, he’s not the only one. The FBI raids his home, and suddenly his family is at the centre of an international terror plot—and Sami is forced to question everything he’s ever known. Borderline is an action-packed page-turner about loyalty and identity that tackles the ethical debate at the heart of today’s toughest security issues, starring a funny and gutsy fifteen-year-old determined to save his father, his family and his life.
