Marco is excited-and nervous-about finally being old enough to accompany Papa across the U.S.-Mexico border to find work. Maya looks forward to the school dance, but first she must convince her strict Kazakh parents to let her go. Ameen knows he can play just as well as his team’s star quarterback-if only his teammates would give him a chance. Ten authors, including Pam Munoz Ryan and Rita Williams-Garcia, write stories about teenagers whose American lives are colored by their ties to other cultures.
