When Michael and Mina first see each other, they are standing on opposite sides at a rally for refugees. Telling the tale of two very different teenagers who come from two very different backgrounds, 'When Michael Met Mina' tackles a serious topic in an educational and light-hearted way. This gorgeously written novel is the perfect read for anyone with a passion for social justice. - Kristy (QBD)
