Aliyah Azi

Aliyah Azi likes learning new things, but she does not like the idea of attending first grade at Hillside Elementary. The other kids and their sociability make her uncomfortable — except one boy, Oscar, who gives her a mysterious sense of peace. At the end of a long first day of school, Aliyah and Oscar pair up to bring a message down the hall … and end up in an entirely unexpected place.
