Story
A bag of chips. That's all 16-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad's pleadings that he's stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad's resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad's every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered.

Story
Jade believes she must get out of her neighborhood if she's ever going to succeed. Her mother says she has to take every opportunity. She has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly-white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship program for "at-risk" girls. Except really, it's for black girls. From "bad" neighborhoods. But maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.

American-born 17-year-old Maya Aziz is torn between worlds. There's the proper one her parents expect for their good Indian daughter: attending a college close to their suburban Chicago home and being paired off with an older Muslim boy who's "suitable" to her mother. And then there is the world of her dreams: going to film school and living in New York City - and maybe, just maybe, pursuing a boy she's known from afar her entire life who's suddenly falling into her orbit at school.

We meet 16-year-old Vali on the eve of a raid of her small Vermont town that sends her, her mother, and her younger brother on the run from the Deportation Forces. In this near-future America, all citizens are chipped at birth and this chip is used to track their movements from bus stops to schools to grocery stores. Vali and her mother are undocumented, but at least Vali has a counterfeit chip—until it starts malfunctioning. Now on the run, Vali and her family are desperately trying to make it to California, a sanctuary state that is being walled off from the rest of the country.

Pulga has his dreams. Chico has his grief. Pequeña has her pride. And these three teens have one another. But none of them have illusions about the town they've grown up in. Even with the love of family, threats lurk around every corner. And when those threats become all too real, the trio knows they have no choice but to run: from their country, from their families, from their beloved home. Crossing from Guatemala through Mexico, they follow the route of La Bestia, the perilous train system that might deliver them to a better life - if they are lucky enough to survive the journey.

But even though she lives in Salem, MA, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself.

Then evidence of dark magic begins to appear all over Salem, and Hannah's sure it's the work of a deadly Blood Witch.

Publisher's summary
Rebellions are built on hope.
Set in a horrifying near-future United States, 17-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens.
With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp's director and his guards.
Heart-racing and emotional, Internment challenges listeners to fight complicit silence that exists in our society today.
"A riveting and cautionary tale. Internment urges us to speak up and speak out, to ask questions and demand answers, and when those answers prove unsatisfactory, to resist." (Stacey Lee, award-winning author of Outrun the Moon)
Critic reviews
"Taking on Islamophobia and racism in a Trump-like America, Ahmed's magnetic, gripping narrative written in a deeply humane and authentic tone, is attentive to the richness and complexity of the social ills at the heart of the book." (Kirkus, starred review)
"[A] poignant, necessary story that paints a very real, very frank picture of hatred and ignorance, while also giving readers and marginalized individuals hope." (Booklist, starred review)
"An unsettling and important book for our times." (Publishers Weekly, starred review)
Featured Article: Excellent Dystopian Listens Like The Hunger Games
The popularity of Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games trilogy and its film adaptations has paved the way for so many great dystopian books and series in YA, imagining harrowing worlds where teens must fight for survival and define what life means to them. The enduring popularity of the series has proven that dystopian stories and the sometimes-dark futures they imagine are endlessly fascinating to our imaginations.

Then, after years of hiding, they are miraculously rescued and taken to New Hope, a colony of survivors living in a former government research compound. While at first the colony seems like a dream, with plenty of food, safety, and shelter, New Hope slowly reveals that it is far from ideal. And Amy soon realizes that unless things change, she'll lose Baby - and much more.

Safiya Mirza dreams of becoming a journalist. And one thing she’s learned as editor of her school newspaper is that a journalist’s job is to find the facts and not let personal biases affect the story. But all that changes the day she finds the body of a murdered boy. Jawad Ali was fourteen years old when he built a cosplay jetpack that a teacher mistook for a bomb. A jetpack that got him arrested, labeled a terrorist—and eventually killed. But he’s more than a dead body, and more than “Bomb Boy.” He was a person with a life worth remembering.

When fiction feels like reality
Layla Amin is a Muslim Indian American girl that ends up in an internment camp for Muslim Americans with her family. It is the near future. Nazis have taken over the United States and there is now a Muslim ban. She quickly realizes that her non Muslim liberal friends are just as complicit when they start rounding up people for the camps. How does it all start? With a damn census questionnaire. This book is about fighting for freedom and how she starts a revolution with her new friends at the camp, her boyfriend that’s outside the camp, and an unlikely ally.
The narrator was perfect for this book and did a wonderful job switching characters

This is a Must Read
The most frightening thing about this book is knowing how easily it could come true, especially right now.
I want to do justice to this book but I feel like my words are not enough, this dystopian book could happen in one tweet. I would hope I have Layla’s courage to stand up to the injustices or even the strength of Jake & Fred, heroes all.
These are American Muslims, US Citizens put into camps, marked with a number how can this happen here? Again how can we let it happen again?? Are there truths in this book, oh yeah, hard ones , ones we white people really need to look at. What side will you stand on? Would you fight before it happens or put your head in the sand while they carry off your neighbors? This book will make you think, I hope it will make you realize we don’t want this as our future. These characters and this story will stay with me a long time.
Remember this could be any immigrant. Look at what is happening on our southern border…
This is a must read book, it needs to be in every library collection.
Soneela Nankani's narration was fabulous!
4.5 stars

Fifteen Minutes Into the Future
I am so glad I did not listen to the negative reviews that some people gave this book. I do, however, agree with them (to a point) that there is a strong anti-Trump strain that runs through this book. But, I believe that plays directly to people’s fears - and that is what this FICTION book is all about — an extrapolation of people’s fears. Make no mistake — it CAN happen here. I do, however, disagree with the author that fascism only comes draped in a flag — it also comes disguised as anti-fascism. It is up to all of us to stay aware — and recognize the enemy when we see them. This is a great work of fiction that should receive every award possible!! It is a warning to everyone in the United States to be vigilant — be on guard — There are unscrupulous people who would undermine the freedom of someone else if there was a bit of money or power to be made off of it. Kudos!!

A glimpse into the future
This book gives a hard-hitting look at what the United States has in store if we keep pushing the current agenda. The fact that we currently have someone leading our country who has been proven to be a racist, bigot and xenophobia. If we do not come together and protect those that can not protect themselves we will see this book come to past. We as a country have done this.. learn from our past embrace our mistakes and move forward to become a stronger .

chilling realistic fiction
Could have done without the language and the repetitious teenager thought process, but the subject matter needs to be addressed and was well done.

timely
Scary how the past repeats itself... loved the way this took the perspective of a teen of today a single election in the future and let you see through her Muslim American agnostic eyes what a Japanese American teen may have felt in WW2. it would make a good movie.

Internment is AMAZING!
Internment is an amazing book! It's so thrilling and not everything in that book is happy... but definitely not predictable. I love it because you don't know what's going to happen and I never want to stop reading because it's like the whole book is a cliff hanger. I definitely do recommend it to everyone!!

Heart wrenching
This book is such a window into what is possible if we do not take a stand, as well as what people in the past experienced. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone. I really believe that this book has the power to change the hearts and minds of Americans far and wide.

Heart wrenching Story
I couldn't put this book down. I cried many times but was very good. It is worth reading! This book also relates to what's going on now in the world.
