### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Breathtakingly relatable!
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2022*

I finished this book yesterday and I highly recommend it. Growing up, there were never any books with characters that were as mixed as me and as conflicted as me. Sonia struggles with not only her identity but switching schools and her father’s depression as well. This is a story everyone should read. I love the message that being half of anything doesn’t make you less of it. My favorite part was when Sonia is asked what she is and she responds that she is Indian and Jewish but that she has family from Russia as well and another country I am not recalling right now. I was ecstatic when I saw that. It wasn’t until high school that I truly embraced all I was: Guyanese-Indian from dad, Italian, Polish, Irish, and German from mom. We can trace our roots and know who immigrated from India to Guyana (my dad’s generation is first in America). We can trace roots back to Italy, Poland, Ireland and Germany as far back as great-great-greats!

    My 10 yr old daughter really enjoyed reading this book
  

*by W***3 on Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017*

My 10 yr old daughter really enjoyed reading this book, so much so that I read it too.  It address some Middle School topics like fitting in while also remaining true to oneself but in a new and refreshing light.  The main character, Sonia, deals with her own identity as well as confronting some more mature topics such as a parent's depression following job loss.  It was great to see a realistic main character that had a multi ethnic and cultural background and it prompted some thoughtful conversations with my daughter.  Overall a refreshing and thoughtful read.

    I enjoyed all the elements of family, friendship, and diversity in this middle grade novel

Sonia Nadhamuni's life is going well until her father loses his job and she's pulled out of the private school she adores. Now in a public school, she feels out of place. Her classmates make her uncomfortable with their questions geared towards her name and looks. With an Indian father and Jewish mother, the kids focus is on who she is, what she is, and what religion she practices. Sonia tries to fit in with new friends and cheerleading tryouts, but this doesn't mean she's being true to herself. Meanwhile, at home, things are getting worse with her parents. Her mother, who works longer hours because of the father's job loss, doesn't like all the changes in Sonia's social life and her unemployed father is going through emotional changes that will rock the family. I enjoyed all the elements of family, friendship, and diversity in this middle grade novel.
