{"product_id":"saints-and-misfits","title":"Saints and Misfits","description":"\u003cp\u003eSaints and Misfits—a William C. Morris Award finalist and an Entertainment Weekly Best YA Book of the Year—is a “timely and authentic” (School Library Journal, starred review) debut novel that feels like a modern day My So-Called Life…starring a Muslim teen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are three kinds of people in my world:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. Saints, those special people moving the world forward. Sometimes you glaze over them. Or, at least, I do. They’re in your face so much, you can’t see them, like how you can’t see your nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2. Misfits, people who don’t belong. Like me—the way I don’t fit into Dad’s brand-new family or in the leftover one composed of Mom and my older brother, Mama’s-Boy-Muhammad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso, there’s Jeremy and me. Misfits. Because although, alliteratively speaking, Janna and Jeremy sound good together, we don’t go together. Same planet, different worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut sometimes worlds collide and beautiful things happen, right?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3. Monsters. Well, monsters wearing saint masks, like in Flannery O’Connor’s stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the monster at my mosque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeople think he’s holy, untouchable, but nobody has seen under the mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept me.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S.
