Short books. Easy reading. Great Canadian authors.
The Picture of Nobody
The son of immigrants tries to fit in to the new place that his family has moved to, but he feels like he doesn’t belong. His mother tells him to try harder, his father talks about life in the old country, and his sister changes her look from Goth to headscarf. He wants to get away from his family, but it’s hard to make friends. The worst part is that when some people see his brown face, they think he might be a terrorist.
