⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this novel in verse. Anoop is an American Indian Sikh teen. As he enters eighth grade, he is bullied relentlessly by a duo of classmates who have been mean in the past, but turn it up even more as Anoop does not have his best friend and ally Jacob in any of his classes. Not wanting to worry his parents, he keeps the bullying to himself. He jumps at the chance to visit his ailing grandfather when his father travels to India to be with him. There, Anoop learns even more about Sikhism and the beliefs he is striving to uphold. This would make an excellent window/mirror for middle school atudents - it is very informative. It’s quick, too! Recommended for grades 6+.

A compelling coming-of-age from the POV of a first-generation American and member of a Sikh community in the midwest. I love how Sheth developed her characters. The physical and emotional abuse from bullies was depicted unflinchingly, and the resolution felt both plausible and deeply gratifying. Stay for the author's note, as well. Beautifully narrated. 
My thanks to Libro.fm for the advanced listening copy of this work.
