Amina's Voice by Hena KhanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amina is a 6th grader whose family immigrated here from Pakistan when she was a baby. She has a beautiful voice and a big case stage fright.
This story packs a lot into a few hundred pages. We see how friendships change as children grow older, we see how important family dynamics are, we see what it's like to live with each foot solidly placed in two different cultures, and most importantly we get to see what discrimination feels like.
