"Twins Bianca and Leila could not be more different from each other. Being both Argentinian and Iranian in a small town has always been hard, but with Leila shunning her heritage and Bianca embracing it, the two walk very different paths.
They run in different circles of friends and barely talk anymore. Leila’s a homebody who loves to craft and plans on marrying her high school sweetheart.
Bianca’s more antiestablishment and plans to get out of Dodge as soon as humanly possible.
But on their eighteenth birthday, the neighbor’s barn mysteriously burns down.
When Leila encounters a monster—a djinn—arising from the fire, suddenly she gains strange powers—and can no longer touch iron.
What do these djinn want with Leila—or other people in town, for that matter?
Can the twins learn to rely on each other—and their cultures—to banish them?
It’ll take a sisterly reconciliation for the girls to find out and to save their hometown in this New Visions Award–winning fantasy adventure.
“A gripping page-turner that perfectly blends sisterhood, magic, and self-discovery, Twin Flames is simply enchanting.”—Crystal Maldonado, author of The Fall of Whit Rivera"
"Upon learning that the books with kids who look like her have been banned by her school district, Kanzi descends into fear and helplessness. But her classmates support her, and together—with their teacher’s help—they hatch a plan to hold a bake sale and use the proceeds to buy diverse books to donate to libraries. The event is a big success: the entire school participates, and the local TV station covers it in the evening news. Prodded by her classmates to read the poem she has written, Kanzi starts softly but finds her voice. “You have banned important books, but you can’t ban my words,” she reads. “Books are for everyone.” The crowd chants “No banned books! No banned books!,” and the next week, the ban is reversed. Aya Khalil appends a note about how The Arabic Quilt was briefly banned from the York, Pennsylvania school system, and the backmatter also includes a recipe for baklawa, the Egyptian pastry that Kanzi prepares for the bake sale."
