Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block...for the
fourth time. California's Newport Beach is her family's latest
perch, and she's determined to shuck her brainy loner persona and
start afresh with a new Brady Bunch name--Cindy. It's the late
1970s, and fitting in becomes more difficult as Iran makes U.S.
headlines with protests, revolution, and finally the taking of
American hostages. Even puka shell necklaces, pool parties, and
flying fish can't distract Cindy from the anti-Iran sentiments that
creep way too close to home. A poignant yet lighthearted middle
grade debut from the author of the bestselling Funny in Farsi.

and she begins to wonder if the hardship is worth it. Will Dawnie

When Louise Wolfe's first real boyfriend mocks and disrespects Native people in front of her, she breaks things off and dumps him over e-mail. It's her senior year, anyway, and she'd rather spend her time with her family and friends and working on the school newspaper. The editors pair her up with Joey Kairouz, the ambitious new photojournalist, and in no time the paper's staff find themselves with a major story to cover: the school musical director's inclusive approach to casting The Wizard of Oz has been provoking backlash in their mostly white, middle-class Kansas town. From the newly formed Parents Against Revisionist Theater to anonymous threats, long-held prejudices are being laid bare and hostilities are spreading against teachers, parents, and students -- especially the cast members at the center of the controversy, including Lou's little brother, who's playing the Tin Man. As tensions mount at school, so does a romance between Lou and Joey -- but as she's learned, "dating while Native" can be difficult. In trying to protect her own heart, will Lou break Joey's?
