I really enjoyed this story. Zara and her family are trying to make it through until their green cards are processed. It's been 8 years, and the finish line appears to be in sight. Then, a racist situation from a classmate threatens to derail all the hard work and put their future at risk.
I loved learning about Zara and her family and friends, how accepting they all are. I think it shows how hard immigration to the United States can be, and how easy it is to have the system not accept you.

I listened to this book on audio. Like I said with the previous title, I had a hard time with the jump between books. I felt like this book just starts and it takes a while to sink into the book. This is a book about a quest, and much of the quest feels like it happens too easily. I'm interested in seeing the trailer.
