Summary
Aaliyah can't wait for a concert by her favorite K-pop boy band, 3W. She isn't too concerned with stories on the news about the rise of the far right until a terrorist attack at the concert changes everything. Local racists are emboldened and anti-Muslim rhetoric starts cropping up at school and on the street. In the face of bullying, Aaliyah has to do something to stand up to the hate. She decides that, instead of hiding who she is, she will begin wearing a hijab for the first time, to challenge how people in her community see Muslims. But when her school bans the hijab and she is attacked and intimidated for making her choice, Aaliyah feels alone. Can she find allies -- friends to stand beside her and help he find ways to fight back?
