The Hounded (Scapegoat, #2)

Seventeen-year-old Alexander Evans-Lloyd and his friend Haroon Qubadi fight for Haroon's father who is unjustly accused of supporting terrorism. The teens are helped by Alexander's grandfather, Gilbert Evans and his friends (first met in The Price of Freedom). The Hounded creates a timely exploration of prejudice and the intersection of media, politics and religion. Richen weaves a tale of friendship and family that proves love and justice can prevail. A terrific choice for a book club and the classroom.
