Diana Abu-Jaber’s children’s fiction includes Silverworld, published in 2020. The novel is a middle-grade fantasy about a girl named Sami who discovers an alternate world through her grandmother’s antique silver mirror. The story weaves together elements of Middle Eastern folklore with a modern coming-of-age adventure.
Silverworld represents Abu-Jaber’s first foray into writing for younger readers. The book draws on the same cultural themes present in her adult fiction, particularly the importance of family heritage and stories passed between generations, but frames them within a fantasy narrative accessible to middle-grade audiences.
