Walter Awards Honor Book "A modern masterpiece."--The New York Times Book Review "Supple, sparkling and original."--The Wall Street Journal "Mesmerizing."--TODAY.com "This book could change the world."--BookPage "Like nothing else you've read or ever will read."--Linda Sue Park "It hooks you right from the opening line."--NPR SEVEN STARRED REVIEWS * "A modern epic."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "A rare treasure of a book."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "A story that soars."--The Bulletin, starred review * "At once beautiful and painful."--School Library Journal, starred review * "Raises the literary bar in children's lit."--Booklist, starred review * "Poignant and powerful."--Foreword Reviews, starred review * "One of the most extraordinary books of the year."--BookPage, starred review A sprawling, evocative, and groundbreaking autobiographical novel told in the unforgettable and hilarious voice of a young Iranian refugee. It is a powerfully layered novel that poses the questions: Who owns the truth? Who speaks it? Who believes it? "A patchwork story is the shame of the refugee," Nayeri writes early in the novel. 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. Like Scheherazade of One Thousand and One Nights in a hostile classroom, Daniel spins a tale to save his own life: to stake his claim to the truth. EVERYTHING SAD IS UNTRUE (a true story) is a tale of heartbreak and resilience and urges readers to speak their truth and be heard.

Nice to have
Color: Brown, Size: 10.2" x 8.4" x 1.8"
Good:
It's a good sized leather tray for the price. I'm able to keep my keys, wallet, tv remote, and watch flat within the box. There's not much else to say, it's a leather tray, it just... works. It gives me piece of mind knowing that I'll always find my accessories and belongings nicely tucked into this tray.
Bad:
I'm a fair reviewer, if a product wows me I'll say it wows me. This does not wow me in the craftsmanship department. The product I received contains the leather tray and a leather "floor". The leather floor is a separate piece that sits at the bottom of the tray which completes the complete leather look and provides some cushion to the things inside. This leather floor did not fit perfectly within the confines of the tray. One edge sits slightly tilted upward. To be completely fair, this is a very easy fix. I assumed that the stitching was simply applied too tightly and causes the floor to 'crunch'. I simply reduced the tightness of the stitching and it's perfect now. However, I cannot give it the full 5 star rating I wanted because not everyone is keen on solving issues like this. When people order things, I assume that most people would like a product that looks and feels great straight from the box.
Verdict:
Would still recommend. Despite this being a somewhat niche product it really helps with quality of life. I no longer have to go looking for my keys, wallet, or tv remote between my couch cushions. I know exactly where I'll find them every time and this saves an exponential amount of time in the mornings. As a bonus, the color is really nice and dark chocolate brown which goes with most things and leather is just a nice luxury to have.

A perfect catch y’all
Color: Dark Grey Shagreen, Size: 10.2" x 8.4" x 1.8"
I use this as a catch on on my dresser and it is sturdy and provides a bit of chicness and beauty that I can just throw all of my things in and keep it keep myself organized. It is leather, and well constructed so you can’t go wrong. And if you spill anything, just take a wet wipe and wipe it up. I highly recommend.

Holds stuff nicely - classic addition for the bureau!
Color: Brown, Size: 10.2" x 8.4" x 1.8"
Ordered this as a gift for my son, who always seems to have a small pile of "stuff" accumulating on his bureau.
He is not a fan of leather, so this tray was perfect! And it was a great value for the price.
Ordered it in brown. It has a nice feel to it and (color-wise has a rich tone).
Perfect for his keys, spare change he finds in his pockets, extra watchbands, whatever.
Makes a great gift! I definitely recommend!

Nice design
Color: Dark Grey Shagreen, Size: 10.2" x 8.4" x 1.8"
The design is nice and doesn’t take up too much space, but it holds a lot more than I expected. The materials feel sturdy and quality, and it looks great. It's made it so much easier to stay organized with our keys and wallets.
