(4) 4-6 Moving from India to Iowa City means twelve-year-old Seema must leave her close-knit extended family and try to make new friends while struggling to learn English and puzzling through American customs. Though the writing is rather wooden, Seema's story is convincingly and compassionately told as she deals with her own problems and grows to have more sympathy for the problems of others. Glos.
