Book Overview

Four kids meet at an airport for one unforgettable night in this middle-grade novel by four bestselling and award-winning authors--Aisha Saeed, Huda Al-Marashi, Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow, and S. K. Ali.

When a thunderstorm grounds all flights following a huge Muslim convention, four unlikely kids are thrown together. Told in alternating points of view, Grounded tells the story of a night that will change these kids forever.

* Feek is stuck babysitting his younger sister, but he'd rather be writing a poem that's good enough for his dad, a famous poet and rapper.
* Hanna is intent on finding a lost cat in the airport--and also on avoiding a conversation with her dad about him possibly remarrying.
* Sami is struggling with his anxiety and worried that he'll miss the karate tournament that he's trained so hard for.
* And Nora has to deal with the pressure of being the daughter of a prominent congresswoman, when all she really wants to do is make fun NokNok videos.

These kids don't seem to have much in common--yet.
