White Zone by Carolyn Marsden
Two cousins, Nouri and Talib, are tangled in the religious strife in Iraq in 2008 between the Sunnis and the Shiites. The cousins are torn in this war, dealing with normal teen issues of bullying and fitting in. When one of the boys has to move away, the cousins look toward an Iraq where they were both were equal and friends. The story, based on true events, relays the strength of family and the bonds of loyalty to your roots. Marsden tells the story from each boys' perspective, allowing readers inside the character to know how each one feels.
