Editorial Reviews

Review

“There is humor, tenderness, despair, outrage, and tenacity… This is a poignant and powerful collection of universal themes embedded with cultural specificity.”—Booklist *starred review*

"Alsaid edits an extraordinary anthology featuring exquisite writing and offering a genuinely diverse collection on the richly layered topic of immigration. International in scope, the cross-section of voices is refreshingly diverse while also unified by emotional vulnerability.... [D]eeply relevant to our contemporary world. A must-have antidote to xenophobia and a much-needed, compassionate mirror for many."—Kirkus Reviews *starred review*

"[E]ach contribution provides a snapshot of the many meanings the word “home” can evoke, making for a thought-provoking read. Authors’ notes interspersed throughout lend autobiographical richness to the memorable anthology.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review

“These stories highlight the literal and emotional journeys of immigration, while also offering cultural views of travel, government, and geography. Readers will experience the joys, heartbreaks, struggles, and triumphs of the families depicted.”—School Library Journal

A fascinating collection of people's stories

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book introduces readers to so many different travelers, immigrants, in so many different situations. Each story was deep and true and interesting, individual but comfortably part of the collection. U am glad I purchased it, so I can re-read it often — and appreciate the people who make up a country as diverse as the USA.

Important Stories

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

These stories provide an intimate look at aspects of immigrants' lives that have been stereotyped and maligned (or simply ignored) for far too long in the US. America is a country of immigrants, and the personal stories these writers share offer an opportunity for readers to understand something outside their own experiences.

I knew almost nothing about what it takes to be an immigrant especially if one has to leave for a better future. What amazing and brave people immigrants are , past present and future.

This book is a gem!

Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2020

This book is a gem!! I devoured it, and can’t wait to discover more from each and every author within the pages. Come On In is a collection of short stories that revolve around the theme of immigration, written by 15 different YA authors. I picked up the book because I saw Isabel Quintero’s name, and I love everything that she has written, but I discovered so many more authors!! In this collection we read about leaving one’ s country of birth, about growing up first generation in the US, about teaching ESL, about BP checkpoints, the Muslim Ban, and being held by agents at the airport. We read about learning to love one’s family and traditions, trying to “fit in”, and about traveling to one’s new home from places like Fiji, Mexico, India, Venezuela, and Korea, among others. Each story is very different, but each story comes back to the same theme of immigration, and finding one’s home, both topics that I am extremely familiar with.

Edited by Adi Alsaid, this collection contains stories by Yamile Saied Méndez, Zoraida Córdova, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Maurene Goo, Justine Larbalestier, Sona Charaipotra, Nafiza Azad, Maria E. Andreu, Misa Sugiura, Sharon Morse, Sara Farizan, Varsha Bajaj, Lilliam Rivera, Isabel Quintero, and the editor himself.

I cried several times reading these stories. While many of us come from different countries, our experiences are often overlapping and similar. In All The Colors Of Goodbye, Nafiza Azad depicts how a family has to leave one of their children behind because he is 21 or over: I was that child who was left behind. “You see, the people who decide who gets to go say he is too old to be considered a dependent of the family, as if age determines the bond a person has with their relatives. The government of this new country we are moving to won’t let him come with us, so my parents decided that he is old enough to be left alone.”

And from The Wedding by Sara Farizan: “I wondered how many people might not find the love of their lives because they were not allowed to live in certain countries.” My partner and I would never have met each other and created our own family if we had both followed the rules imposed on us. I’m glad we didn’t, but at the same time I also wonder how this will all affect our children.

I highlighted so many more areas: phrases I related to, phrases that I want to remember, moments that are important and that we all need to remember. This really is such a rich collection of stories, and one I recommend to everyone (to those who will relate to many of the protagonists, but also to those who would benefit from learning more about what it feels like to constantly be searching for home).

A Story Collection With Many Perspectives

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021

Reading the anthology Come On In: 15 Stories About Immigration and Finding Home edited by Adi Alsaid felt like I was sitting at a huge banquet sized table at a huge dinner party listening to people tell stories all night long. It was a fantastic experience. I learned so much from the many different perspectives and experiences shared in the stories. There was laughter, pain, fear and joy throughout the 15 stories about immigration.

Amazing Flow
Even though the stories in Come On In were written by 15 different authors, it had an amazing flow from one story to another. I was introduced to authors that I will now seek out additional work by them. As a learner, I am so glad that I read this anthology.

Centering Joy, Recognizing The Full Spectrum Of Immigration Stories
This might have been why I was able to make my way through this anthology and read all of the stories so quickly. There are a lot of stories out there that only center trauma and abuse that can occur during a migration experience depending on who you are and where you are coming from. That is not to take away from an individual’s story, this anthology just honored that there is more than one type of immigration story.

This set of stories went way beyond that and focused on themes of home, family, and love. These stories occupy the full spectrum of what the immigration experience can be or feel like. There are stories from characters who were too young to remember emigrating and from characters who are actively immigrating in the story. Some stories discuss the impact of characters who are American but who are not seen as such by ignorant eyes. Some stories discuss how families deal with the impact of immigration on their lives.

Deeply moving collection

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020

Thank you to Inkyard Press and NetGalley for the Reader's Copy!

Now available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Indie Bookstore.

Faces with a hostile world full of TSA agents, ICE officials, and xenophobic general population, it's easy to see why the first and second generation teenagers in Adi Al Said's new collection "Come On In" feel overwhelmed. As a first generation immigrant myself, I related so closely to the narratives provided within these stories - tales of children growing up faster than they should, maturing to take care of elderly family members and community. At the same time, I can't help but be struck by the incredible strength of these fierce protagonists. My favorite was Isabel Quintero's piece. Without a guide, without much help, they were making it happen by the sheer force of their will. That, to me, is the ultimate beauty of the immigrant America - by the crook of sheer desire, all things become slowly possible. A deeply moving collection!
