A troubled teen sent to Cairo finds that revolution is everywhere—including in herself. When her first party ends in jail, Miriam thinks things can't possibly get worse. But when her parents send her to her grandmother in Cairo, she is sure her life is over. Her Sittu is Darth Vader's evil sister, and Miriam is convinced that the only sights she'll see in Egypt are the rooms in her grandmother's apartment. It turns out her Sittu's not so bad. They ride camels by the pyramids and ice skate at a mall. "Sometimes a moment can change your life," her Sittu says, but it can change the life of a country too. When a girl named Asmaa calls the people of Egypt to protest, Miriam finds herself in the middle of a revolution, running from tear gas and guns. Oh yeah, and meeting the cutest guy she's ever seen. Falling in love for the first time. And having her first kiss.
