Nadia Islam, On the Record
Aspiring reporter Nadia travels across the world to celebrate Ramadan with her family in Bangladesh, where her journalism skills are put to the test as she learns about the country’s climate crisis—and the true meaning of her favorite holiday—in bestselling author Adiba Jaigirdar's middle grade debut, with illustrations by Avani Dwivedi.
Nadia Islam isn’t looking forward to her summer trip to Bangladesh. Even though she’s excited to meet her cousins, she is disappointed not to be celebrating her first Ramadan fasting alongside her best friend, Yasmin. Then again, she just might find the news story that will get her picked to be her school paper’s editor-in-chief!
As soon as she lands, Nadia realizes she has a lot to learn about Bangladesh. Fortunately, her khalamoni—her favorite aunt and fellow journalist—is spending the summer researching the disastrous flooding in the region. And Khalamoni just might need Nadia’s help to get the inside scoop about the country’s climate challenges.
Nadia herself never backs down from a challenge. Especially not from her older cousins, who insist that she won’t be able to fast as many days as they will during the month of Ramadan.
Between her journalism and her determination to beat her cousins, Nadia is sure to have the best Ramadan ever—right?
