Jasmine Zumideh Needs a Win by Susan Azim BoyerRead about another entry on the list.
Eager to get out of high school and start her real life as the coolest musical journalist in New York City, Jasmine is a funny, deeply relatable teenage protagonist. To make her college application iron-clad, she runs for class president (after saying on her application that she already was). But because of the Iranian Revolution in 1978, she and her Iranian family are seen as enemies by their neighbors. Jasmine wants to move on with her life, but her competing priorities aren’t so easy to reconcile.
