In an Oklahoman middle school, Khosrou (whom everyone calls Daniel) stands in front of a skeptical audience of classmates, telling the tales of his family's history, stretching back years, decades, and centuries. At the core is Daniel's story of how they became refugees—starting with his mother's vocal embrace of Christianity in a country that made such a thing a capital offense, and continuing through their midnight flight from the secret police, bribing their way onto a plane-to-anywhere. Anywhere becomes the sad, cement refugee camps of Italy, and then finally asylum in the U.S. Implementing a distinct literary style and challenging western narrative structures, Nayeri deftly weaves through stories of the long and beautiful history of his family in Iran, adding a richness of ancient tales and Persian folklore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Scheherazade of \u003cem\u003eOne Thousand and One Nights\u003c\/em\u003e in a hostile classroom, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. \u003cem\u003eEVERYTHING SAD IS UNTRUE (a true story)\u003c\/em\u003e is a tale of heartbreak and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCautions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended for mature teens, with strong reading ability and interest.

Out of their trials and their repeated collisions against the hard realities of an America divided into Haves and Have-Nots evolves a drama that is intensely human yet majestic in its scale and moral vision, elemental yet plainspoken, tragic but ultimately stirring in its human dignity.
