The Whole Story of Half a Girl tells the tale of Sonia
Nadhamuni, a half Indian and half Jewish American girl, whose
life is turned upside down when her father loses his job and
Sonia and her little sister are forced to leave private school
to attend the local public school. The two schools are worlds
apart. At her old school everyone hung out together, but now
Sonia must decide between hanging out with the popular crowd or
with a group of kids who bus in from a different town. There are
other elements to the story that make The Whole Story of Half a
Girl compelling for Middle Grades readers: - Cultural identity -
Boy/Girl relationships The Whole Story of Half a Girl is a great
choice for MG readers (especially girls) who are struggling with
navigating social pressures while trying to remain true to
themselves. Blog you later!
