American Street is an evocative and powerful coming-of-age story
perfect for fans of Everything, Everything; Bone Gap; and All
American Boys. In this stunning debut novel, Pushcart-nominated
author Ibi Zoboi draws on her own experience as a young Haitian
immigrant, infusing this lyrical exploration of America with
magical realism and vodou culture. On the corner of American Street
and Joy Road, Fabiola Toussaint thought she would finally find une
belle vie-a good life. But after they leave Port-au-Prince, Haiti,
Fabiola's mother is detained by U.S. immigration, leaving Fabiola
to navigate her loud American cousins, Chantal, Donna, and
Princess; the grittiness of Detroit's west side; a new school; and
a surprising romance, all on her own. Just as she finds her footing
in this strange new world, a dangerous proposition presents itself,
and Fabiola soon realizes that freedom comes at a cost. Trapped at
the crossroads of an impossible choice, will she pay the price for
the American dream?
