In this compelling companion to New York Times bestseller Amal
Unbound, Omar contends with being treated like a second-class
citizen when he gets a scholarship to an elite boarding school.
When Omar gets a scholarship to the prestigious Ghalib Academy,
it’s a game changer. It will give him, the son of a servant, a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a better future—and his whole
village is cheering him on. Omar can’t wait to dive into his
classes, play soccer, and sign up for astronomy club—but those
hopes are dashed when he learns first-year scholarship students
can’t join clubs or teams; instead, they must earn their keep by
doing chores. Even worse, it turns out the school deliberately
“weeds out” scholarship kids by requiring them to get grades
that are nearly impossible. Omar is devastated to find such odds
stacked against him, but the injustice of it all motivates him to
try to do something else that seems impossible: change a rigged
system.
