Summary By: Emerald Zamora
In this book it's about a girl named Nadira, her sister Aisha her parents Ma and her father Abba. They are all illigel immigrants from Bangladesh and need to move to Canada. But when they're in a car traveling to Canada Abba tries to renew his Visa card and he gets caught by a guard and now he has to go to INS detention. So while the family is waiting for the guard to return Abba said to Ma "You stay behind and stay at this apartment while Aisha drives Nadira back. Aisha starts to cry but she knows she must listen to her father and do the right thing and graduate from High school and get into college. Nadira on the other hand has to try her best by bringing the family back together again rather then breaking it apart even more! So the girls have to eat Green nasty jello with a marsh mellow inside and eat the food they give them at lunch, and diner.
QUESTIONS:
Why did Ma have to stay back?
Will the girls make it?
When will Abba return?
Will Aisha graduate?
Connection: When Ma stayed back it reminded me when me and my brother had to leave my mom behind at the hotel in PA. While He drove me to NYC and mom stood in the hotel with dad. It gave me a tingle feeling in my stomach.
