Here's my final post catching up with #TuneintoNovember. When I saw the #BooksfromBoxes prompt, it immediately made me think of this cover from my favorite middle grade/YA author when I was in middle school. Laura loses her little brother, Billy, to a bomb disguised as a package in a subway station. Then she becomes entangled with a Muslim classmate's scheme to use Billy's passport to emigrate to the U.S.
