Winner of the Crystal Kite Award, this touching story explores what
it mean to be a good friend, how you should react to a bully, and
makes the events of September 11th, 2001 personal. In this story
about growing up in a difficult part of America's history, Jake
Green is introduced as a cross country runner who wants to be a
soldier and an American hero when he grows up. Before he can work
far towards these goals, September 11th happens, and it is
discovered that one of the hijackers lives in Jake's town. The
children in Jake's town try to process everything, but they
struggle. Jake's classmate Bobby beats up Jake's best friend, Sam
Madina, just for being an Arab Muslim. According to his own code of
conduct, Jake wants to fight Bobby for messing with his best
friend. The situation gets more complicated when Sam's father is
detained and interrogated by the FBI. Jake's mother doubts Sam's
father's innocence. Jake must choose between believing his parents
and leaving Bobby alone or defending Sam.
