The New Kids: Big Dreams and Brave Journeys at a High School for Immigrant Teens by Brooke Hauser

3.0

I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. I did enjoy the stories of the different students as they came to the States, and their transition into an American high school. I would have enjoyed this more if it had been told from the perspective of one of the teachers or had been given more continuity. Also, I don't really think this is a book that teens would enjoy. The other award-winning book about immigrants would likely appeal more to teens, as the stories are considerably shorter and are told from a first-person perspective.
