| Publisher Description: Karim and Salima Kufdani have survived the streets of Tangier. Orphaned and alone they've found their own way, until a fateful night and a cafe brawl see them shipped away from everything they've ever known. Now in the cold, barren expanse of Scotland, Karim and Salima must learn to navigate the waters of the exclusive Bairdston School and cross a cultural divide neither ever expected to face. Can Karim overcome the vendetta of a coach who doesn't want him on the team? Will anyone ever accept uneducated Salima for the prodigy she really is? A story of love, acceptance and perseverance, Bairdston asks if the principles of peace and the virtues of intelligence can ever truly light the darkest of all places. Award-winning novelist, Robert Cook paints an irresistible portrait of teen life in a Muslim meets Western world. Bairdston is a triumphant tale that will capture readers and leave them breathless with every exhilarating page. |
