A heartwarming and authentic immigration story about a stray dog, the power of music, and celebrating old traditions along with new beginnings. Maria Emilia has just immigrated to the US from Argentina, and jumping into seventh grade in Cedar City, Utah, is not easy. Speaking Eng...lish all day turns out to be really hard...especially when her classmates poke fun at her accent. Her saving grace is the stray dog she discovers in her backyard, especially since it looks and acts like the beloved pet cat she used to have in Argentina. Eventually, it turns out the dog isn't a stray after all -- she belongs to Emilia's new neighbor, Julian. In order to spend more time with the dog (who totally isn't her reincarnated cat...right?), she agrees to join Julian's band. But can Emilia find her new voice in the US without losing herself?Read less
