Saints and Misfits

A William C. Morris Award Finalist
An Entertainment Weekly Best YA Book of 2017

Saints and Misfits is a â€œtimely and authenticâ€ (School Library Journal, starred review) debut novel that feels like a modern day My So-Called Lifeâ€¦starring a Muslim teen.

There are three kinds of people in my world:

1. Saints, those special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over them. Or, at least, I do. Theyâ€™re in your face so much, you canâ€™t see them, like how you canâ€™t see your nose.

2. Misfits, people who donâ€™t belong. Like meâ€”the way I donâ€™t fit into Dadâ€™s brand-new family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother, Mamaâ€™s-Boy-Muhammad.

Also, thereâ€™s Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good together, we donâ€™t go together. Same planet, different worlds.

But sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right?

3. Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in Flannery Oâ€™Connorâ€™s stories.

Like the monster at my mosque.

People think heâ€™s holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen under the mask.

Except me.
