Críticas:

"The story reaches a fist-clenching pinnacle before a conclusion that should defy readers' expectations. It's a powerful story and excellent resource for teaching tolerance, with a message that extends well beyond the timely subject matter." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A tautly paced thriller. This is a great read. Once it finds its way into the hands of teens, word of mouth will ensure that it circulates." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "Tense and compelling. A fast, exciting read with weighty underpinnings." -- Booklist "Stratton explodes with political relevance. [A] vitally education page-turner." -- Kirkus Reviews "The book is fast-paced suspense. A timely addition to YA lit about Muslim Americans, this will find an audience among those hungry for insight or commiseration." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "A compelling coming-of-age novel about acceptance and fear, wrapped in a fascinating adventure/thriller/mystery. All these elements are shaken mightily in Allan Stratton's latest-as we are." -- Gary D. Schmidt, New York Times bestselling and Printz and Newbery Honor author "Allan Stratton spins these otherwise ordinary lives on a dime and a secret. Borderline is as astonishing as it is all quite possible." -- Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor author and National Book Award finalist "Smart, meticulously plotted, and thrilling. The scariest thing about Borderline is how utterly believable it is." -- Tim Wynne-Jones, author of the Uninvited "A thrilling suspense story. Sami's quest to clear his father's name will carry readers along for an exciting ride." -- BookPage

Reseña del editor:

Life's not easy for Sami Sabiri, a funny, gutsy fifteen-year-old stuck at a private school where he's the only Muslim kid. But things are about to get a lot worse. When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious ...and he's not the only one. In a flash, the FBI descends on his home and Sami's family becomes the center of an international terrorist investigation. Now, as his world unravels, Sami must find a way to save his father, his family, and his life.
