'Omar Rising is irresistibly appealing and genuinely inspiring-a story that helps us to see the world more clearly, and to see ourselves as powerful enough to change it.' * Rebecca Stead * 'Timely and stirring...reminds us that the powerful aren't invincible-and that every action, no matter how small, bends the arc of the moral universe towards justice.' * Teen Vogue on Amal Unbound * 'Raw, honest, funny, charming and hopeful. A reminder of how people with privilege should never underestimate the courage and strength of young people fighting for their rights. Girls and boys everywhere can learn so much from a young girl like Amal.' * Randa Abdel-Fattah on Amal Unbound * 'A wonderfully uplifting tale of courage and the fight for justice. Saeed has created a compelling story that shines a light on a part of our world that has been ignored for far too long.' * Zana Fraillon on Amal Unbound * 'A beautiful and moving story about indentured servitude, economic class, family, resistance and ultimately-freedom. Amal's story and the many people we meet in it are so thoughtfully and deeply rendered, I remain haunted by their struggles and changed by their journeys.' * Jacqueline Woodson on Amal Unbound *
