I'll Always Miss You - by Raine O'Tierney (Paperback)

About the Book

Mackie Cormack looks ridiculous in Isa Zaman's Arab American home, and their friendship takes a path they might not be ready to follow.

Book Synopsis

Isa Zaman might forgive his parents for taking in a friend's son if only he wasn't the most boring teenager in the universe. Macklin "Mackie" Cormack's only interests are reading and the outdoors. Yeah, right. Isa's convinced Mackie is either a pyro or a klepto. Plus, as a white kid, Mackie looks ridiculous in the Zamans' Arab American household. Forced to share a bedroom, the boys keep butting heads until an absurd fight finally breaks the tension between them. Isa's just starting to figure life out: this new houseguest, his cultural identity, school, and even girls, when the entire family is uprooted from their home for reasons Isa can't understand. They move from their tiny city apartment to a giant, old house in a small town, hours away from everything he's ever known. Oh, and the new house? It's probably haunted, or so says the blank-faced ten-year-old next door. As if things weren't weird enough, Isa's friendship with Mackie suddenly takes a strange turn down a path Isa's not sure he's ready to follow. It turns out Mackie Cormack isn't nearly as boring as Isa once imagined.
