And another and another. As they travel together, on a journey in search of safety, they take turns telling one another stories--stories woven in the imagination; tales with echoes of the reality they face now. Tales of young people stolen away by jinn and tales of siblings rescuing one another; tales of lands encroached on by settlers and abandoned by rain; tales of magic found in caves, deserts, mountains, lakes, and, above all, in people, community, and faith. With a frame story written by Nafiza Azad and Intisar Khanani interwoven with stories from fifteen additional authors of various backgrounds, drawing on the mythologies and legends of their cultures, this extraordinary collection will appeal to lovers of fantasy and to those looking for books that center refugees and diverse narratives. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStories contributed by: \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eHanna Alkaf \n\u003cbr\u003eSara Sharaf Beg \n\u003cbr\u003eLoretta Chefchaouni \n\u003cbr\u003eHeba Helmy \n\u003cbr\u003eZeyneb Holdridge \n\u003cbr\u003eAusma Zehanat Khan \n\u003cbr\u003eDiana Ma \n\u003cbr\u003eArdo Omer \n\u003cbr\u003eHaneen Oriqat \n\u003cbr\u003eSarah Mughal Rana \n\u003cbr\u003eFarah Naz Rishi \n\u003cbr\u003eLaila Sabreen \n\u003cbr\u003eZeba Shahnaz \n\u003cbr\u003eReam Shukairy \n\u003cbr\u003eZaynah Qutubuddin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/22\/2026 (EAN 9781536241549, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 (EAN 9781536241549, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/span\u003e 07\/01\/2026 pg. 96 (EAN 9781536241549, Hardcover) - *Starred Review\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Candlewick Press (MA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51496047149334,"sku":"9781536241549","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9781536241549.jpg?v=1783051642","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/a-thousand-nights","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
