"Irresistibly appealing and genuinely inspiring-a story that helps
us to see the world more clearly, and to see ourselves as powerful
enough to change it." -Rebecca Stead, author of Newbery Award
Winner When You Reach Me In this compelling companion to New York
Times bestseller Amal Unbound, Amal's friend Omar must contend with
being treated like a second-class citizen when he gets a
scholarship to an elite boarding school. Omar knows his scholarship
to Ghalib Academy Boarding School is a game changer, providing
him-the son of a servant-with an opportunity to improve his station
in life. He can't wait to experience all the school has to offer,
especially science club and hopefully the soccer team; but when he
arrives, his hopes are dashed. First-year scholarship students
aren't allowed to join clubs or teams-and not only that, they have
to earn their keep doing menial chores. At first Omar is
dejected-but then he gets angry when he learns something even
worse-the school deliberately "weeds out" kids like him by
requiring them to get significantly higher grades than kids who can
pay tuition, making it nearly impossible for scholarship students
to graduate. It's a good thing that in his favorite class, he's
learned the importance of being stubbornly optimistic. So with the
help of his tightknit new group of friends-and with the threat of
expulsion looming over him-he sets out to do what seems impossible:
change a rigged system.
