Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 8 Up—An Arab American teen, Kamran has always considered himself fully American—a high school star football player who dates one of the most popular girls and a homecoming king contender. He plans to attend West Point for college, like his army officer brother, Darius. All of this changes when authorities identify his brother as a deserter and terrorist, responsible for the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Turkey and the deaths of 53 people. Life takes on nightmarish proportions when Kamran is first ostracized by his friends and classmates and then taken into custody and held as a prisoner by the U.S. government. Despite days of questioning and watching videos of Darius, the teen refuses to acknowledge that his brother is a terrorist. As he pays closer attention to the videos, he realizes that his brother is trying to give him information about terrorist plans by using scenarios from games the two used to play and the Code of Honor they signed when they were children. With help from surprising sources, Kamran escapes and heads out to find his sibling. Exciting, at times ripped from the headlines, and scary, this cinematic work has layers of intrigue and danger in each scene. The well-developed protagonist reacts in typical teen fashion, with anger, doubt, rage, and faith in his brother. This action-packed novel will appeal to a variety of readers and will raise questions about patriotism, loyalty, and trust. VERDICT A winner for independent reading and deeper discussion with its timely topic, strong writing, and appealing characters.—Janet Hilbun, University of North Texas

A.G. · January 3, 2025

Short chapters, very engaging , story plot easy to followThis was not my typical pick for a book to read however I really enjoyed it! It was heartfelt and readers can relate to the struggles the main character goes through regarding outside pressures interfering and messing with your own personal beliefs

Overall, I think this was a great book. Alan Gratz is an amazing author and I thoroughly enjoy reading his books. This book kept you on your toes, and you never knew what was going to happen next. Many twists and turns. I would recommend to those who enjoy mystery and spy-like books. 10/10

5.0 out of 5 stars War,Relationships, and Engaging Writing

L.B. · October 5, 2024

Gratz tackles tough topics: racism, war, and family relationships. I met Gratz novels when assisting at a library; as a teacher, my upper ele and middle school students love the action in his books, but is more than that; Gratz writes characters that have the same questions and feelings my students have. In addition, Gratz's characters are push into problems beyond my students' experiences such as being drawn into or fleeing from war in another country, which challenges their thinking. As a teacher and parent, i appreciate how carefully he handles these difficult topics. He reminds me of another favored young adult writer, Chris Crutcher.

6 Show moreReview I really loved Gratz’s other books and I was so excited when Ivan got me Code of Honor for Christmas. I was a little worried when I started reading that it was going to get too political, but it got better very quickly. There were some subtle political jabs that I didn’t appreciate, which is why I gave this book 4 stars. But I can tell that Gratz really appreciates our Armed Forces and Kamran’s love of America was a wonderful thing to read. Patriotism was set up as an admirable thing in a world where love of America is politically incorrect. Kamran became the everyman when talking about stereotyping and unfair views of certain groups of people. Unfortunately, stereotyping is not just an Arab problem, or Muslim problem. And I related to Kamran because of that. I’m a Southerner, born and raised, and of course that make me uneducated and racist. The story was exciting and original and I couldn’t put the book down! I liked the characters a lot! Micky Hagan was the perfect person to drop into Kamran’s life and kept the book from falling into a lecture about islamophobia. I liked how Gratz brought the IRA in to make the problems universal. Overall, this is another book that I would put on history teachers’ bookshelves. It’s an interesting look into the inner workings of counterterrorism and teaches healthy empathy. It also deals with issues facing our soldiers on a daily basis. PTSD, training, discipline, honor, bravery, brotherhood . . . Gratz did a great job of highlighting the greatness of our military men and women and I really loved that! I absolutely recommend this to those looking for an exciting read and to all teenagers.
