About this ebook
I Am Thunder is the Branford Boase Award-winning debut YA novel which questions how far you'll go to stand up for what you believe.
Fifteen-year-old Muzna Saleem is used to being invisible. So no one is more surprised than her when Arif Malik, the hottest boy in school, takes a sudden interest.
But Arif is hiding a terrible secret and, as they begin to follow a dark path, Muzna faces an impossible choice: keep quiet and betray her beliefs, or speak out and betray her heart.
Muhammad Khan's stunning, multi-award winning YA writing gets right to the centre of what it means to be an urban teenager today.
'An uplifting, empowering novel with hope at its heart' Observer Children's Book of the Week
'Funny and clever - a perspective long overdue in British fiction' Alex Wheatle, author of Crongton Knights
'This one is special . . . punches well above the weight of most debuts' The Times
'This assured, hopeful debut feels unprecedented and essential' Guardian
