In this magical middle grade novel, ten-year-old Gabrielle finds
out that America isn't the perfect place she imagined when she
moves from Haiti to Brooklyn. With the help of a clever witch,
Gabrielle becomes the perfect American--but will she lose herself
in the process? Perfect for fans of Hurricane Child and Front Desk.
It's 1985 and ten-year-old Gabrielle is excited to be moving from
Haiti to America. Unfortunately, her parents won't be able to join
her yet and she'll be living in a place called Brooklyn, New York,
with relatives she has never met. She promises her parents that she
will behave, but life proves to be difficult in the United States,
from learning the language to always feeling like she doesn't fit
in to being bullied. So when a witch offers her a chance to speak
English perfectly and be "American," she makes the deal. But soon
she realizes how much she has given up by trying to fit in and,
along with her two new friends (one of them a talking rat), takes
on the witch in an epic battle to try to reverse the spell.
Gabrielle is a funny and engaging heroine you won't soon forget in
this sweet and lyrical novel that's perfect for fans of Hurricane
Child and Front Desk.
