In January of 2020, the Quds Force Major General, Qasem Soleimani, was killed while in a motorcade at the Baghdad International airport by a United States airstrike, at the order by President Donald J. Trump.His death set the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the IRGC, his organization, on its ear, with revenge as their only goal. Soleimani's boss, Supreme Leader of Iran Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei, ordered Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani, the commander of the terrorist group, to exact revenge directly against the United States using their unconventional warfare tactics. The Quds Force-the English translation is Jerusalem Force-with ties to the Lebanese Hezbollah and Hamas, has a footprint in the United States, mainly in New York City. The organization is closely associated with terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Palestine Liberation Army, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and Jordan, and proved to be disastrous.Arash Hasham Hoosmand, a colonel in the Quds Force, was charged with exacting the revenge of Soleimani in the United States.

What happens when two, poor disadvantaged kids from the Bronx trade places for their senior semester of high school with two kids from affluent Ridgewood, NJ? Although less than 20, physical miles separate them, their worlds, as they discover in a school sociology experiment, might as well be a million miles away. Racial profiling, cyber bullying, fat shaming, interracial dating, gangs, and cockroaches vs special privilege, gym memberships, and hopes and dreams are experienced by the students for the first time. This inspirational teen/ya book explores what one does to make the world a better place after walking a mile in another's shoes. Do those with privilege go back to their life changed and determined to help those less fortunate? Do those from DeWitt-Clinton in the Bronx not let their ZIP CODE determine their destiny like their fellow student before them, Ralph Lauren, didn't? Which path will youth today follow? A realistic, life-view of the struggles teens face today; a cross between The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and The Prince and the Pauper.
