There are some stories that sit right in the space between who you were and who you’re becoming—and Kareem Between lives in that beautiful, messy middle ground.

This is a story about finding yourself when everything feels uncertain. About navigating identity, family expectations, and the courage it takes to be honest about who you really are. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the final page—the kind that makes you think, yes, someone finally gets it.

What makes this one special? The voice. It’s authentic, funny, and heartbreakingly real. You’ll find yourself rooting for Kareem from page one, laughing at the perfectly awkward moments, and maybe tearing up a little when it matters most. It’s a story that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt caught between worlds—between cultures, between expectations, between the person everyone thinks you are and the person you’re trying to become.

Perfect for readers who loved The Henna Wars or Felix Ever After, this is contemporary YA at its finest. It’s a story about self-discovery wrapped in warmth, humor, and hope.

Whether you’re looking for your next great read or searching for the perfect book to share with a young person in your life, Kareem Between delivers. Stop by the shop or browse online—we’d love to help you discover this gem. After all, the best books are the ones that help us feel a little less alone.
