Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
What Elisa, Lucia, and Alice see - and judge - of each other from the outside is drastically different from how each girl feels inside. They attend the same classes in the same New York City middle school, but no one knows that Elisa is trying to navigate the bewildering asylum process having just arrived from El Salvador; or that Lucia, who also speaks Spanish and brims with self-confidence, is caught in the middle of her parents' heartbreaking divorce; or that Alice, who appears to be a rebel in combat boots, carries the burden of her mother's progressing cancer. Narrated by each girl in alternating chapters, City Girls captures the vulnerability of being a middle schooler and the relief and joy of finding friendship where you least expect it.
Ages 10-14 years. Triangle Square Books for Young Readers / Seven Stories Press.
Grades 7-9. Triangle Square Books for Young Readers / Seven Stories Press.
As Elisa, Lucia, and Alice grapple with internal struggles and hidden challenges while navigating middle school in New York City, they find unexpected friendship and support when they let go of their preconceived notions of each other.
