| Summary, Etc. |
Things are getting hairy! What could go wrong on the first day of sixth grade? A: You wake up with leg hair out of nowhere. B: You have zero classes with your BFF and watch her run off with her new (annoying) friend. C: You struggle to decide which school club to join because being mixed race makes you feel like you don't belong anywhere. D: All of the above. SERIOUSLY?! At first, Sara's got mixed feelings about middle school. But she finds comfort in TV -- whether she's watching it, performing her favorite scenes, or imagining her life is a show itself. So when she joins drama club, Sara discovers a community where she can be anything she wants -- including herself. Has Sara finally found a place to fit in? Or will she instead find herself buried under her growing leg hair and off-stage friendship drama? In Sara Amini's semi-autobiographical story, navigating life as a mixed-race girl has never been more hilarious or heartfelt, with family, friendship, and fuzz all at the forefront of this laugh-out-loud and painfully relatable middle-school memoir.
|
| Summary, Etc. |
While sixth-grader Sara Amini cannot find anyone who shares her Iranian-Colombian-American heritage, her best friend is abandoning her for another girl, making her feel more alone as a mixed-race, first-generation person with a desire to belong.
