Barakah Beats

Maleeha Siddiqui

Nimra is a young Muslim girl trying to fit in at a new school, where her friend Jenna begins treating her coldly around other students. Hoping to win Jenna back, Nimra accepts an invitation to join Barakah Beats, a popular eighth-grade boy band. She worries that music conflicts with what she has been taught in Islam and that her parents will be disappointed if they learn about the band. Although she plans to leave before the talent show, doing so becomes difficult.
