Presley: The book I read is called The Beauty of the Moment (by Tanaz Bhathena). It is about a girl named Susan Thomas, and a boy named Malcolm Valik. Susan is from Saudi Arabia, but she and her mom move to Canada, where she meets Malcolm. Malcolm is from Canada, but his mom, dad, and step mom are all Indian. He's the so-called bad boy. The two fall in love, then get separated because of Malcolm's evil ex-girlfriend. Then Christmas rolls around and Malcolm gets Susan a scarf, thinking it will solve everything (It doesn't). While all of this is going on, some students are planning a concert for children in Syria called: To Syria, With Love (Malcolm came up with the name). At the concert (which both Susan and Malcolm are involved in) Susan and Malcolm start talking again, and eventually go out for a date. The end! |
