Krátky popis
The hilarious, poignant, and true story of one teens's experience
growing up in America as an undocumented immigrant from the Middle
East, perfect for fans of Mindy Kaling and Trevor Noah's
books.“Very funny but never flippant, Saedi mixes ‘90s pop culture
references, adolescent angst and Iranian history into an intimate,
informative narrative that thoroughly defies current divisive view
on immigration.”—The New York TimesAt thirteen, bright-eyed,
straight-A student Sara Saedi uncovered a terrible family secret:
she was breaking the law simply by living in the United States.
Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn't learn of
her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for
an after-school job, but couldn't because she didn't have a Social
Security number.Fear of deportation kept Sara up at night, but it
didn't keep her from being a teenager. She desperately wanted a
green card, along with clear skin, her own car, and a
boyfriend.Americanized follows Sara's progress toward getting her
green card, but that's only a portion of her experiences as an
Iranian-",American", teenager. From discovering that her parents
secretly divorced to facilitate her mother's green card application
to learning how to tame her unibrow, Sara pivots gracefully from
the terrifying prospect that she might be kicked out of the country
at any time to the almost-as-terrifying possibility that she might
be the only one of her friends without a date to the prom. This
moving, often hilarious story is for anyone who has ever shared
either fear.FEATURED ON NPR'S FRESH AIR!FOUR STARRED REVIEWS!“A
