A poignant, coming of age story about a Cuban-American girl trying to figure out where she belongs--both in her ballet-loving family and the wider world. Perfect for fans of Front Desk and Mercy Suarez Changes Gears.Ten-year-old Sofia Acosta lives with her ballet-obsessed family on the outskirts of New York City. She loves the stories and costumes of ballet, but feels like an outsider in her family because she doesn't love to dance. Her family is excited to host the Cuban National Ballet in the city for a special performance. When Sofía accidentally discovers two dancers' secret plans to defect to the United States, she finds herself wrapped in a dilemma that spans the distance between Cuba and New York. Then Sofía makes a serious mistake--she confides in her best friend, only to discover that Tricia's ideas about immigration and belonging are not what she expected. Sofía wonders what the other neighbors in her tight-knit suburban community really think of her and her family. If Sofía doesn't fit in with her family or Tricia, where does she belong?
