Darius has always had difficulties fitting in, whether its with classmates or even in his own family. His mother is Persian and his father is American, leaving him not knowing who he is at times. When his family decides to go to Iran to visit family Darius must find a way to get his Persian family to understand his depression and get his father to understand who he is.

It isn't until Darius meets Sohrab, neighbor and family friend, that he feels like he knows where he belongs. Sohrab and Darius explore the town, play soccer, and share their inner thoughts with one another.

This is a beautiful story about friendship, family, and staying true to who you are. It is true to life and brings to life the struggles of mental health in a realistic and meaningful way. This book is a must read!
