"Forsythe has written a powerful exploration of ISIS and its radicalization of youths ... a highly teachable novel which will capture a student's interest. A must read." --Jan Macomber, M.S., English teacher(retired)

"This is a timely book aimed at helping young adults understand and avoid the horrors of ISIS." Jeri D. Roberts, Intentional Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement history teacher (retired)

ISIS:Our Children at Risk is a lesson learned by a way of a novel. ISIS, the novel, portrays the true-to-life exploits of ISIS zealots who submit to a seventh-century Islamic sect that many Muslim scholars regard a cult.

This book examines the frightening use of social media and propaganda to recruit young people into the ISIS.

ISIS: Our Children at Risk, uses the stories of Fatima Baloch, a young woman of British citizenship, who is recruited into the MI6 (British Military Intelligence) to become a field agent in the ISIS capital city of Raqqa, Syria where she meets a young CIA operative, Buraq, who is a fourth-generation US citizen, born of Jordanian-American parents.

Each must survive in the midst of the dangerous and destructive Syrian conflict. Buraq and Fatima witness unspeakable ISIS atrocities as they gather information about this dangerous and devastating cult.

ISIS:Our Children at Risk is their story, told alongside the stories of other Syrian "operatives" and ISIS recruits.
