A Very Large Expanse of Sea

by Tahereh Mafi

It s 2002, a year after 9/11, and Shirin has just started at yet another school. It s an extremely turbulent time for the world, but especially for someone like Shirin, a sixteen-year old Muslim girl who s tired of being stereotyped. But then she meets Ocean James. He s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know Shirin.
