The Tyrant's Daughter by J.C. Carleson

4.0

This was a very powerful read about a teenage girl trying to navigate her family's move to the US after her father, a powerful dictator, is killed in a revolution in an unnamed Middle Eastern country. Her conflicts with American teenage culture and her own identity allow the reader to ask questions about our own perceptions and expectations of others. Laila is a noteworthy and important protagonist, which helps make this a memorable book to read.
