Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling like an outsider, whether due to a physical move or the universal feeling of being misunderstood by peers.

The story follows Ana, a girl from Argentina moving to New Jersey, as she navigates the confusing syntax of both the English language and high school social circles. This novel is a beautiful exploration of identity and resilience. It uses a unique format, mixing traditional prose with poetry and vocabulary lists, to mirror the way a new language is acquired.
