“Sharp, funny, and written with fierce love. This book is a hand over the heart and a nod to hope for the future of Afghanistan.”—Julia Walton, author of Words on Bathroom Walls
“An emphatic and empathetic debut that doesn’t shy away from exploring grave themes such as imperialism, intergenerational trauma, war, and xenophobia.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
Sixteen-year-old Mafi Sha hin knows life is not always fair. If it were, she’d have just as much freedom as her older brother, Rafi, and her crush—basketball star Jalen Thomas—would see her as more than Rafi’s kid sister. And if life were fair, Mafi’s family in Afghanistan wouldn’t have to flee their homes to be safe.
Life may not be fair, but as her high school’s secret avenger—known as the Ghost—Mafi vows to make it a bit more even, meting out karmic justice on behalf of classmates who’ve been wronged. They simply leave a revenge note detailing the transgression in the knot of the SOL tree, and Mafi takes care of the rest.
But there are rules to being the Ghost: Don’t get caught. Never reveal your identity. Never involve the police, and definitely don’t get emotionally involved. But at the start of sophomore year, everything changes when a wish turns up in the tree instead—a wish that makes Mafi break all her rules, putting her heart and even her family in Afghanistan at risk. Now Mafi will have to decide who she wants to be—the Ghost making the world a more just place from the shadows, or someone real, standing up for what’s right in the light of day.

批評家のレビュー
“Riesen’s debut is a rich, multifaceted story that . . . interweaves racism and discrimination, immigration and injustice, sexism and double standards, family expectations and intergenerational trauma, and more, all written to great effect and with a broadly diverse supporting cast. A smart, powerful, poignant tale of identity, freedom, and family.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“By deploying a healthy dose of sharp humor across a pacey plot that’s populated by an intersectionally diverse cast, Riesen crafts an emphatic and empathetic debut that doesn’t shy away from exploring grave themes such as imperialism, intergenerational trauma, war, and xenophobia.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Free Radicals is a deeply moving and keenly drawn story of courage, resilience and familial love, filled with tenderness, heart, romance, and hilarity. Lila Riesen is a talent to watch.”—Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of The Serpent King
“Sharp, funny, and written with fierce love. This book is a hand over the heart and a nod to hope for the future of Afghanistan. It is impossible not to fall in love with Mafi, Raf, and Jalen. I laughed with and ached for these characters. Riesen’s story is a heartfelt song for Afghanistan.”—Julia Walton, author of Words on Bathroom Walls
“In this modern tale of a young Afghan American girl coming to terms with her identity. . .
