Mina came to Australia ten years ago from Afghanistan as a refugee, Michael's parents are the grassroots organisers of a racist 'Aussie Values' group. Super relevant and deals with the impact of racism (both overt forms & microaggressions) in a thoughtful and absorbing teen romance.

Scary, sad and enthralling. A 14 year old boy goes missing, and his mother and sister deal with the search, the rumours, and what they've read in his diary. The dialogue in flashback between the boy and his friends felt so true to kids of that age and made their friendships so fleshed out.
