Life's not easy for Sami Sabiri, especially since his dad stuck him at a private boys' school where he's the only Muslim kid. But it's about to get a whole lot worse.
      When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious. Unfortunately, he's not the only one. In a whirlwind, the FBI and RCMP descend, and Sami suddenly finds his family at the centre of an international terror plot. Everything he's ever known comes into question as Sami fights to keep his world from unravelling.
      Borderline is an action-packed page-turner about loyalty and identity, starring a funny and gutsy 15-year-old determined to save his father, his family and his life.
