Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
For María Isabel Salazar López, the hardest thing about being the new girl in school is that the teacher doesn't call her by her real name. "We already have two Marías in this class," says her teacher. "Why don't we call you Mary instead?"
But María Isabel has been named for her Papá's mother and for Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she find a way to make her teacher see that if she loses her name, she's lost the most important part of herself?
Paperback reprint published by: Atheneum Books for Young Readers.
On the way to school -- Names and surnames -- Recess -- Mary López -- The first snowfall -- Thanksgiving -- The winter pageant -- Trapped in a spider's web -- My greatest wish -- One little candle, two little candles.
Third grader María Isabel, born in Puerto Rico and now living in the U.S., wants badly to fit in at school; and the teacher's writing assignment "My Greatest Wish" gives her that opportunity.
