I have been following a great handle on Twitter called @diversebooks. This handle has great information about new and upcoming diverse books. Amina's Voice  has been all over Twitter since I saw the author at The North Texas Teen Book Festival. Amina is a Pakistani American Muslim struggling to live with her family's cultural beliefs and trying to fit in at a new middle school. She witnesses many changes as her uncle arrives from Pakistan for a long visit,  her best friend going through some major changes, and her mosque being the target of a terrible hate crime. I think many Christie readers will be able to identify with Amina as she steers through some tricky times in her life. I really enjoyed reading this book and am excited about book talking it with our readers!
