Reviews, " Starred
After her father loses his job, Sonia Nadhamuni, half Indian and
half Jewish American, finds herself yanked out of private school
and thrown into the unfamiliar world of public education. For the
first time, Sonia's mixed heritage makes her classmates ask
questions--questions Sonia doesn't always know how to answer--as
she navigates between a group of popular girls who want her to try
out for the cheerleading squad and other students who aren't part
of the "in" crowd.
At the same time that Sonia is trying to make new friends, she's
dealing with what it means to have an out-of-work parent--it's hard
for her family to adjust to their changed circumstances. And then,
one day, Sonia's father goes missing. Now Sonia wonders if she ever
really knew him. As she begins to look for answers, she must decide
what really matters and who her true friends are--and whether her
two halves, no matter how different, can make her a whole.
