Borderline by Allan Stratton

Synopsis from Barnes and Noble:


The truth is closing in.
Life's not easy for Sami Sabiri since his dad stuck him at a private school where he's the only Muslim kid. But it's about to get a lot worse.
When Sami catches his father in a lie, he gets suspicious. . . . He's not the only one. In a whirlwind, the FBI descends on his home, and Sami's family becomes the center of an international terrorist investigation. Now Sami must fight to keep his world from unraveling.
An explosive thriller ripped from today's headlines, borderline is the story of a funny, gutsy Muslim-American teen determined to save his father, his family, and his life.

The main character in this book is a funny and very realistic teenager.  I liked the fast pace of the novel and the fact that the story was thought provoking without being a heavy social commentary.  One of the reviews I read mentioned the cover art was not the most appealing and I agree with this.  I urge you to not judge this book by the cover and to give it a try! :)
