It will give him, the son of a servant, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a better futureâand his whole village is cheering him on. Omar canât wait to dive into his classes, play soccer, and sign up for astronomy clubâbut those hopes are dashed when he learns first-year scholarship students canât join clubs or teams; instead, they must earn their keep by doing chores. Even worse, it turns out the school deliberately âweeds outâ scholarship kids by requiring them to get grades that are nearly impossible. Omar is devastated to find such odds stacked against him, but the injustice of it all motivates him to try to do something else that seems impossible: change a rigged system. 521 $a Ages 10 and up. $b Nancy Paulsen Books. 541 $d 20240512. 650 $a Boarding schools $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Schools $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Social status $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Poverty $v Juvenile fiction. 650 $a Classism $v Juvenile fiction. 651 $a Pakistan $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. 655 7 $a School fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l YGPC162 $d 20240614011757.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=772AA90E2A1311EFB7D7D6B645ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
