Jameela dreams of being a journalist and when she becomes an editor of the school paper she is thrilled. But life has been tough at home. First her dad lost his job and ended up having to go overseas for work. Then her younger sister ended up with lymphoma. To top it off there is always drama with her sisters and now a boy, Ali, is distracting her. Can Jameela figure out the truth of everyone's story and how to contribute in a meaningful way?
The afterward and promotional material talk about how this is inspired by Little Women. I never would have picked up on it without seeing those bits of info. It is a decent story with good diversity.
