About the author: http://www.islamicwritersalliance.net/mp_LindaD.Delgado.html
 
Book description from the back: Seventh grade year ended and Rose was resigned to another boring summer and missing her Hijab Ez Friends: Camelia, Ruby, Christian, and Reyhannah until meeting Zarinah's niece Keysha, a fourteen year old African-American Muslimah and her younger brother Sammie changed everything!
 
Rose was ready to sign up Keysha as a Hijab Ez Friend. She wasn't expecting Keysha to reply with the suggestion that she become a temporary member of the Hijab Ez Friends. Keysha was frank when she said she grew up in an urban African-American environment and had never hung out with girls who were racially and culturally different from her.
 
Rose wasn't prepared for Sammie when the first words out of his mouth were, "Whatcha lookin at white girl?" Keysha was quick to explain that her eight-year-old genius IQ brother had a big chip on his shoulder and was always getting into trouble with a capital 'T' because of it.
 
When Keysha asked Rose and the Hijab-Ez Friends if they could help her find a way to help her brother with his identity crisis, the Hijab Ez were more than ready to dig in and just like old times create a PLAN, a Sammie PLAN, to do just that.
