Book Summary

A young girl named Mia has to work in a motel with her parents but she has several other problems. She must deal with the person that runs the motel (who is a mean person), school bullies, and try to write stories to follow her dream and be a writer, which is difficult because she is living in America but English isn't her first language, while being only ten years old. This is a very inspiring book.

Favorite Part or Fun Fact

I love that she still tries to be a writer, even though the odds are against her.
