But when Kit's friendship with the "witch" is discovered, Kit is faced with suspicion, fear, and anger. She herself is accused of witchcraft!

A novel of conviction, friendship, and betrayal. It's 1944, and World War II is raging across Europe and the Pacific. The war seemed far away from Margot in Iowa and Haruko in Colorado—until they were uprooted to dusty Texas, all because of the places their parents once called home: Germany and Japan. Haruko and Margot meet at the high school in Crystal City, a "family internment camp" for those accused of colluding with the enemy. The teens discover that they are polar opposites in so many ways, except for one that seems to override all the others: the camp is changing them, day by day, and piece by piece. Haruko finds herself consumed by fear for her soldier brother and distrust of her father, who she knows is keeping something from her. And Margot is doing everything she can to keep her family whole as her mother's health deteriorates and her rational, patriotic father becomes a man who distrusts America and fraternizes with Nazis. With everything around them falling apart, Margot and Haruko find solace in their growing, secret friendship. But in a prison the government has deemed full of spies, can they trust anyone—even each other?

«أعيش من أجل حلم أن يولد أطفالي أحرارًا»، تقول. «أن يكونوا ما يحلو لهم. أن يمتلكوا الأرض التي منحهم إياها والدهم». «أعيش من أجلكِ»، أقول بحزن. تقبّل إيو خدي. «إذًا يجب أن تعيش من أجل ما هو أكثر». دارو من الحمر، وهم أفراد الطبقة الدنيا في مجتمع المستقبل المصنّف بالألوان. ومثل رفاقه الحمر، يعمل طوال النهار، معتقدًا أنه وشعبه يجعلون سطح المريخ صالحًا للعيش للأجيال القادمة. ومع ذلك، يكرّس حياته طوعًا، عالمًا أن دمه وعرقه سيفضيان يومًا إلى عالم أفضل لأطفاله. لكن دارو وأمثاله تعرّضوا للخيانة. وسرعان ما يكتشف أن البشرية بلغت السطح بالفعل منذ أجيال. مدن شاسعة وحدائق مترامية تنتشر عبر الكوكب. ودارو — والحمر الذين يشبهونه — ليسوا سوى عبيد لطبقة حاكمة مترفة. مدفوعًا بالشوق إلى العدالة وبذكرى حب مفقود، يضحي دارو بكل شيء ليتسلل إلى المعهد الأسطوري، ميدان اختبار طبقة الذهب المهيمنة، حيث يتصارع الجيل التالي من أسياد البشرية على السلطة. وسيُجبر على المنافسة من أجل حياته ومن أجل مستقبل الحضارة ذاته ضد أفضل وأشد وحشية أفراد الطبقة الحاكمة في المجتمع. هناك، لن يتوقف عند شيء للإطاحة بأعدائه... حتى لو كان ذلك يعني أن يصبح واحدًا منهم لتحقيق ذلك.

It's the mid-1990s, and fifteen year-old Guernsey schoolgirls, Renée and Flo, are not really meant to be friends. Thoughtful, introspective and studious Flo couldn't be more different to ambitious, extroverted and sexually curious Renée. But Renée and Flo are united by loneliness and their dysfunctional families, and an intense bond is formed. Although there are obstacles to their friendship (namely Flo's jealous ex-best friend and Renée's growing infatuation with Flo's brother), fifteen is an age where anything can happen, where life stretches out before you, and when every betrayal feels like the end of the world. For Renée and Flo it is the time of their lives. With graphic content and some scenes of a sexual nature, PAPER AEROPLANES is a gritty, poignant, often laugh-out-loud funny and powerful novel. It is an unforgettable snapshot of small-town adolescence and the heart-stopping power of female friendship.
