So fast paced, so much action!I truly enjoyed this novel considering I did not expect this book to do well.American Street is about Fabiola Toussaint who immigrates to America with her mother from Haiti, but upon arrival, her mother is detained at customs, leaving Fabiola to navigate a new country and culture on her own with some help from her cousins and aunt.The theme of this story is based on Fabiola trying to make sense of what happened to her mom and then trying to find a way for her mother to join her. As she begins to settle into her new environment, she meets and falls in love with a young guy named Kasim Anderson. Anderson will teach her about her new world and also serve to temporarily fill the void that Fabiola only desires for her mother.So many events occur that keep the storyline interesting and moving, but I must say, it is also sad. Honestly, I experienced many emotions while reading this book, and when I finished it, I still had all the characters I met in my mind. I finished this book in two sittings, though I did take a break because of work.I gave this book 4 stars on GoodReads, but it is technically 4.5 out of 5.0. Zoboi did a great job writing this book. Our main character, Fabiola Toussaint, is well developed and the theme is real and will resonate with many readers who have foreign blood in them. I enjoyed this book and definitely recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Page turner with exceptional moments of lyricism, social commentary, and a beautiful amagamation of vodou and Detroit city life. *by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018* I teach high school- both I and the many students I have lent this book to have loved it. The story is piercing, exciting and page turning. More than other young adult novels I have read recently this book had a strong literary lyricism driven by a magical realism that blended Haitian voodoo mythology with the characters and action of the story. It was refreshing to read a YA book that had artistic depth. I'm back to order a third copy so I can keep loaning it out more widely. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2017* Wow. Based on everything I'd heard (and essays I've read by this author), I knew I was going to love this book but was not fully prepared for its intensity and richness. As a faith a folklore nerd, I was hooked right away by Fabiola's fascination with the lwas of Haitian Vodou--that layer was gorgeous, deep, poetic, and masterfully handled. And then there are the rich and vibrant characters, the sweetness of first love, the heart-racing intensity of plot twists I will not reveal (and that you will not see coming!). It's a story of a girl, a city, immigrant joy and immigrant woes, heartbreak, love, and the dance among cultures in America's streets. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/38966745-american-street](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/38966745-american-street) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
