In the vein of Year of the Dog and The Higher Power of Lucky, this Middle Eastern coming-of-age story is told with warmth, spirit, and a mischievous sense of humor Spunky eleven-year-old Wadjda lives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with her parents. She desperately wants a bicycle so that she can race her friend Abdullah, even though it is considered improper for girls to ride bikes. Wadjda earns money for her dream bike by selling homemade bracelets and mixtapes of banned music to her classmates. But after she's caught, she’s forced to turn over a new leaf (sort of), or risk expulsion from school. Still, Wadjda keeps scheming, and with the bicycle so closely in her sights, she will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Set against the shifting social attitudes of the Middle East, The Green Bicycle explores gender roles, conformity, and the importance of family, all with wit and irresistible heart.

Have you ever felt "one-sided" love? The one that you live alone, through your imagination? I did, many times. In this book I travel back in time to my first crush. And I ask myself, why did I like him so much? And then I do the same with all the other guys who once lived rent-free in my head on my 30 years alive. These pages are my attempt to understand how my neurodivergent mind functions in relation to romantic love, emotions, identity, and communication. My words meant nothing more than my own feelings and ideas (expressed for the first time). Its liberation ritual for me; when I finish it, I hope to have the courage to express my feelings freely. This book is about me, an autistic person who is trying to unmask herself and discover who she is, what she likes and what she needs. I send a big hug to anyone who can relate.

While words cannot always depict the brutality of reality, the emotions experienced never fail to paint an accurate picture in the mind. It's hard to read about these stories, but it's even harder to see the pain in their eyes. So many achievements with which fascinating people have enriched mankind, many more disasters have been brought upon the world by the same creatures. It is easy to assume that people are basically good, but it is an endless struggle to find all the causes that this assumption fails its consistency, leading to a more persistent malice and bigotry in the nature of people. It is people who wage wars, it is people who destroy homes, who speak of high morals and betray them in seconds. But it is also people who fight for justice, people who protect the truth and kill with kindness. If people are indeed fundamentally good, then the spark that emanates from those who are true to this root is the reason for the hope that, as in fairy tales, good can conquer evil.
