Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

"Internment sets itself apart…terrifying, thrilling, and urgent.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Tells a tale of resilience from those wrongfully imprisoned in their home country, unexpected alliances, and a hopeful resolution. While some actions within the story may seem hard to believe, the message about standing up to injustice is inspiring.” —Variety magazine
"Tackles Islamophobia in a United States that has turned against Muslims—one that proves too close to our own reality in this sobering, necessary read.” —Paste magazine
“This work asks the question many are too afraid to confront: What will happen if xenophobia and racism are allowed to fester and grow unabated? A reminder that even in a world filled with divisions and right-wing ideology, young people will rise up and demand equality for all.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A poignant, necessary story that paints a very real, very frank picture of hatred and ignorance, while also giving readers and marginalized individuals hope.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Ahmed keeps the tension mounting as Layla faces increasingly violent consequences for her actions; the teenagers’ relationships are depicted authentically, and their strength and resistance are inspiring.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Ahmed has gifted us Layla, a courageous young revolutionary who fights against all boundaries of hate and ignorance. A must read for activists who continue to push back against the big What-Ifs.” —Ibi Zoboi, National Book Award finalist and author of American Street
“A testament to what girls are capable of when they are overlooked, Internment is a masterwork of dignity and grit.” —E. K. Johnston, author of Exit, Pursued by a Bear
