The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner
Dill has had to wrestle with vipers his whole life—at home,
as the only son of a Pentecostal minister who urges him to handle poisonous rattlesnakes,
and at school, where he faces down bullies who target him for his father’s
extreme faith and very public fall from grace.
He and his fellow outcast friends must try to make it
through their senior year of high school without letting the small-town culture
destroy their creative spirits and sense of self. Graduation will lead to new
beginnings for Lydia, whose edgy fashion blog is her ticket out of their rural
Tennessee town. And Travis is content where he is thanks to his obsession with
an epic book series and the fangirl turning his reality into real-life fantasy.
Their diverging paths could mean the end of their
friendship. But not before Dill confronts his dark legacy to attempt to find a
way into the light of a future worth living. –Amazon Description
When the Moon is Low by Nadia Hashimi
Mahmoud's passion for his wife Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is
greater than any love she's ever known. But their happy, middle-class world—a
life of education, work, and comfort—implodes when their country is engulfed in
war, and the Taliban rises to power.
Mahmoud, a civil engineer, becomes a target of the new
fundamentalist regime and is murdered. Forced to flee Kabul with her three
children, Fereiba has one hope to survive: she must find a way to cross Europe
and reach her sister's family in England. With forged papers and help from kind
strangers they meet along the way, Fereiba make a dangerous crossing into Iran
under cover of darkness. Exhausted and brokenhearted but undefeated, Fereiba
manages to smuggle them as far as Greece. But in a busy market square, their
fate takes a frightening turn when her teenage son, Saleem, becomes separated
from the rest of the family.
Faced with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her
daughter and baby, while Saleem falls into the shadowy underground network of
undocumented Afghans who haunt the streets of Europe's capitals. Across the
continent Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite, and ultimately find a place
where they can begin to reconstruct their lives. – Amazon Description
