The Library Weekly Book Recommendation - KS4 - The Thread That Connects Us by Ayaan Mohamud

 


A story of shared blood and bad blood, endings and beginnings.

Safiya has struggled to pick up the pieces of her family since her dad left them and moved to Somalia.  Then her dad moves back to town with his new family, shattering her life all over again.

Halima doesn't want to move to England. She resents her stepdad for dropping her in a strange new life with a new language to learn - replacing her friends with bullies who set out to shame her.

When the girls are thrown together at school, it's hate at first sight. But as they uncover life-changing secrets from their parents' past, they begin to realize...What if the key to all their problems lies in their sisterhood?
