Luke is 15 and not only are his parents divorcing, but this dad is moving to Pakistan to write a book and wants Luke to go with him. Luke finds himself in a new Country with different customs where he doesn't know anyone. Since this is set in 1984, there is no internet to entertain him or tell him about this new place. The author did a great job of conveying this coming of age tale that explores what it is like to be an outsider in a Country that is on the brink of change, the emotional toll that a divorce has on a teen, resentment, and a whole lot more emotions.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had a good story to it. It was a well written book. I liked the variety of characters in it. I hope to read more books by this author.
