Dumas, Firoozeh

Recently moved from Compton to Newport Beach, Zomorod Yousefzadeh has started calling herself Cindy to fit in. But late-1970s world politics keep her ever aware that she's Iranian. Dumas's semi-autobiographical children's-book debut is funny, affecting, and nuanced--rife with depictions of racism kids of color and immigrants still face; these serious notes are balanced with preteen antics and melodramas of which Blume would be proud.
