Is a family trip really a vacation when you’re missing out on something back home? Join Zoya, a Pakistani American girl, as she embarks on a visit to Istanbul in this graphic novel by the award-winning author of Amina's Voice.
Zoya can’t wait for summer—her team has made it to Regionals, and with her top scoring skills as a forward, they have a real shot at Nationals. Except Zoya’s family is taking a trip to Istanbul for two whole weeks, and she can’t get out of it.
Zoya’s bad mood worsens when she sees her team having fun without her online, and the city, although beautiful, seems to spoil her younger brother Jib with free gifts and sweets. Everyone is having fun but her. Will Zoya let her team down by not being there, or worse, will she lose her spot? And will Zoya get anything out of this trip besides FOMO?
