Six Muslim teens are falsely accused of a deadly attack in this timely and harrowing examination of America's justice system, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas and Samira Ahmed.. As fireworks pop off at a rowdy Fourth of July bonfire party, an explosion off the California coast levels an oil rig - resulting in chaos and worse, murder. At the center are six Muslim teens - six patriots, six strangers, and six suspects. . An old soul caught in the wrong place. An aspiring doctor. An influencer with a reputation to protect. A perfect daughter with secrets to hide. A soccer star headed for Stanford. An immigrant in love. Each with something to hide and everything to lose.. Faced with accusations of terrorism, The Six are caught in a political game that will pit them against each other in exchange for exoneration.
