Iftin and Max Alexander. Originally published in

520 Adapted from the adult memoir, this gripping story follows
one boy's journey into young adulthood and offers an
intimate account of modern immigration.Abdi Nor Iftin grew
up amidst a blend of cultures, far from the United States.
At home in Somalia, his mother entertained him with vivid
folktales and bold stories detailing her rural, nomadic
upbrinding. As he grew older, he spent his days following
his father, a basketball player, through the bustling
street of the capital city of Mogadishu.But when the
threat of civil war reached Abdi's doorstep, his family
was forced to flee to safety. Through the turbulent years
of war, young Abdi found solace in popular American music
and films. Nicknamed Abdi the American, he developed a
proficiency for English that connected him--and his story-
-with news outlets and radio shows, and eventually gave
him a shot at winning the annual U.S. visa lottery.Abdi
shares every part of his journey, and his courageous
account reminds readers that everyone deserves the chance
to build a brighter future for themselves.
