The truth is closing in.
Life's not easy for Sami Sabiri since his dad stuck him at a private school where he's the only Muslim kid. But it's about to get a lot worse.
When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious. . . . He's not the only one. In a whirlwind, the FBI descends on his home, and Sami's family becomes the center of an international terrorist investigation. Now Sami must fight to keep his world from unraveling.
An explosive thriller ripped from today's headlines, borderline is the story of a funny, gutsy Muslim-American teen determined to save his father, his family, and his life.

Review
"Stratton explodes with political relevance. [A] vitally education page-turner."--Kirkus Reviews
"Smart, meticulously plotted, and thrilling. The scariest thing about Borderline is how utterly believable it is."--Tim Wynne-Jones, author of the Uninvited
"A thrilling suspense story. Sami's quest to clear his father's name will carry readers along for an exciting ride."--BookPage
"Tense and compelling. A fast, exciting read with weighty underpinnings."--Booklist
"The book is fast-paced suspense. Plenty of male teen wit makes it an engaging and solid portrayal of guy friendship as well. A timely addition to YA lit about Muslim Americans, this will find an audience among those hungry for insight or commiseration."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Allan Stratton spins these otherwise ordinary lives on a dime and a secret. Borderline is as astonishing as it is all quite possible."--Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor author and National Book Award finalist
"A compelling coming-of-age novel about acceptance and fear, wrapped in a fascinating adventure/thriller/mystery. All these elements are shaken mightily in Allan Stratton's latest--as we are."--Gary D. Schmidt, New York Times bestselling and Printz and Newbery Honor author
"The book is fast-paced suspense. A timely addition to YA lit about Muslim Americans, this will find an audience among those hungry for insight or commiseration."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
The story reaches a fist-clenching pinnacle before a conclusion that should defy readers expectations. It s a powerful story and excellent resource for teaching tolerance, with a message that extends well beyond the timely subject matter. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
