![]() ![]() Nazis have marched on DC and books are burning. It has a slightly different ring to it than Secretary of the Army or Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of War is an Islamophobe – and yes, that’s a cabinet seat we haven’t seen for a while in real life. Fake news abounds and refugees are being called rapists and criminals. A president has been elected who tweets his hatred of Muslims almost daily. Review: This book begins during a horrific time for Muslims in the U.S. Heart-racing and emotional, Internment challenges readers to fight complicit silence that exists in our society today. With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp’s Director and his guards. Summary: Set in a horrifying near-future United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.
