Set in a near-future United States, the novel places seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her family in an internment camp for Muslim Americans. Layla’s effort to oppose the camp’s leadership draws on connections with other detainees, her boyfriend outside, and an unexpected alliance. The premise brings questions of state power, belonging, complicity, and collective resistance into a young-adult story shaped by confinement and the possibility of organized protest.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in speculative fiction grounded in contemporary social concerns
  • Readers seeking fiction about Muslim American experiences, internment, and resistance

Rebellions are built on hope.

Set in a horrifying near-future United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.

With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the camp's Director and his guards.
