This is the funniest, cutest, most relatable story!! I loved every minute of this and found myself cackling so many times at the situations that Fancy found herself in. Fancy is absolutel  hilarious and I loved the relationship she had with the counselor. This book is extra special for all the Haitian and West Indian / Caribbean kids that were always on the cusp of being sent back if they didn't ac  right in American.  This was an absolute joy to read!
