An American kid, in a place he doesn’t understand.

Doug Wilhelm’s 17th book is at once a thrilling adventure and a multicultural coming-of-age story. During a single week in 1984 in Peshawar, an age-old border city in Pakistan’s legendary Northwest Frontier Province, four teenagers — an American who doesn’t want to be there, an Afghan refugee who becomes his friend, and a quarreling local brother and sister — are dangerously caught up amid rising extremism, a forbidden romance, the power of music, and an ancient true story.
