You'll know Firoozeh Dumas from the much loved New York Times best-selling Funny in Farsi that was the finalist for the PEN/USA Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Thurber Prize for American Humor

Firoozeh is back with a poignant yet lighthearted middle grade novel  that is "[;a]; fresh take on the immigrant experienceauthentic, funny, and moving from beginning to end."Kirkus Reviews, Starred review

Zomorod (Cindy) Yousefzadeh is the new kid on the block . . . for the fourth time. Californias Newport Beach is her familys latest perch, and shes determined to shuck her brainy loner persona and start afresh with a new Brady Bunch nameCindy. Its the late 1970s, and fitting in becomes more difficult as Iran makes U.S. headlines with protests, revolution, and finally the taking of American hostages. Even mood rings and puka shell necklaces can't distract Cindy from the anti-Iran sentiments that creep way too close to home.

Firoozeh Dumass unique gift is her ability to use her wry, bold, but always gentle wit to tell serious stories about family, heritage, and loss. . . . In this era of suspicion and paranoia, [;this book]; offers a tender and compassionate glimpse into the immigrant experience. Khaled Hosseini, bestselling author of The Kite Runner
