Read in July, 2011

Nominated for the Beehive Award, this is the story of a girl who waited five years to be sent for by her dad and brother who immigrated to the US from Brazil. I really liked the glimpse it offered of her first impressions and experiences as she reunites with her family and attends an English-speaking school for the first time. It captures the disconnect between hopes and longings and the reality of getting together.
