Omar has moved to a new school and neighborhood, and he wants to fit in. However, he knows that his family stands out because they are Muslim. Their neighbor, Mrs. Rogers, talks about them and does not seem very friendly. In Omar's class, Daniel also doesn't like him and picks on him. At least Omar has his new friend, Charles, but can Omar stay out of trouble when he seems to be drawn to it? Planet Omar was originally released as The Muslims. Omar shares a lot about his religion in a way that is easy to understand. The story is written in a way that Diary of a Wimpy Kid fans can appreciate with drawings interspersed throughout the text. It's an easy read, and I was able to finish it quickly. I appreciated the message of accepting others that are different from you and being willing to look past those who at first misjudge you.
