Overview
Life could be better for twelve-year-old Jacques. His mother just died, his father is jobless and drinking again, and his grandmother’s bridal store is on the verge of closing. At least he can look forward to the soccer season—after all, he’s a shoo-in for captain. But the arrival of Somali refugees shakes up nearly everything in his French-speaking Maine town, even soccer.
Jacque’s no longer the only star—Mohamed is just as good as he is, maybe better. School, church, sports . . . everything changes. So Jacques is surprised to find himself becoming friends with Kiki, a smart, funny, and strong-minded Somali Muslim girl. Can people as seemingly different as Jacques and Kiki be friends? Even best friends? Vetted by teenage Somali American readers, Kiki and Jacques offers a realistic and heartwarming portrait of a town learning to embrace its changing face.
