Received this from chefcrossing. I plan to read this.
'Some walked across deserts and mountains to get here. One arrived after escaping in a suitcase. And others won't say how they got here.
These are "the new kids": new to America and all the routines and rituals of an American high school, from lonely first days to prom. They attend Brooklyn's International High School at Prospect Heights, where all the students are recent immigrants learning English. Together, they come from more than forty-five countries and speak more than twenty-eight languages.
An inspiring work of narrative journalism, The New Kids chronicles a year in the lives of teenage newcomers who are at once ordinary and extraordinary in their paths to the American Dream.'
It is interesting reading and innovative schooling. I liked it, except for the prom, that I thought they could have done without. Oh, and the sex ed. That was kind of appalling.
I am putting this into the ABC VBB
This book was not selected in the ABC VBB. It is now AVL.
