- Synopsis
- &“A powerful YA novel about identity and prejudice.&” —Entertainment Weekly Bijan Majidi is:Shy around girlsReally into comicsDecent at basketballBijan Majidi is not:A terrorist What happens when a kid who&’s flown under the radar for most of high school gets pulled off the bench to make the winning basket in a varsity playoff game? If his name is Bijan Majidi, life is suddenly high fives in the hallways and invitations to exclusive parties—along with an anonymous photo sent by a school cyberbully that makes Bijan look like a terrorist. The administration says they&’ll find and punish the culprit. Bijan wants to pretend it never happened. He&’s not ashamed of his Middle Eastern heritage; he just doesn&’t want to be a poster child for Islamophobia. Lots of classmates rally around Bijan. Others make it clear they don&’t want him or anybody who looks like him at their school. But it&’s not always easy to tell your enemies from your friends.Here to Stay is a painfully honest, funny, authentic story about growing up, speaking out, and fighting prejudice.
