Overview
In this compelling companion to New York Times bestseller Amal Unbound, Omar contends with being treated like a second-class citizen when he gets a scholarship to an elite boarding school.
When Omar gets a scholarship to the prestigious Ghalib Academy, it's a game changer. It will give him, the son of a servant, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a better future--and his whole village is cheering him on. Omar can't wait to dive into his classes, play soccer, and sign up for astronomy club--but those hopes are dashed when he learns first-year scholarship students can't join clubs or teams; instead, they must earn their keep by doing chores. Even worse, it turns out the school deliberately "weeds out" scholarship kids by requiring them to get grades that are nearly impossible. Omar is devastated to find such odds stacked against him, but the injustice of it all motivates him to try to do something else that seems impossible: change a rigged system.
