Allan Stratton

Life's not easy for Sami Sabiri since his dad stuck him in a private school where he is the only Muslim kid. But it's about to get a lot worse.

When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious...He's not the only one. In a whirlwind, the FBI descends on his home, and Sami's family becomes the center of an international terrorist investigation. Now Sami must fight to keep his world from unraveling.

An explosive thriller ripped from today's headlines, Borderline is the story of a funny, gutsy Muslim-American teen determined to save his father, his family and his life.

"A compelling coming-of age-novel about acceptance, The Other, and fear,wrapped in a
fascinating adventure/thriller/mystery. All these elements are shaken mightily in
Allan's Stratton's latest -- as are we."

- Gary Schmidt, Newberry and Printz Honor Winner for Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy

"Smart, meticulously plotted, and thrilling. The scariest thing about Borderline
is how utterly believable it is."
- Tim Wynne-Jones, author of The Uninvited

"Allan Stratton spins these otherwise ordinary lives on a dime and a secret.
Borderline is as astonishing as it is all quite possible."

- Rita Garcia-Williams, Coretta Scott King Honor Book for Like Sisters on the Home Front
