Tina's first year of high school. Among the many things to discover is that when you think the government is wrong and unfair, you can push back. Sure, there's algebra and world history, a new volunteer job, new friends, and dealing with a nearly deaf ear, but one of those new friends is in the middle of an immigration crisis that may deport her whole family in a day. Can Tina help? See what's possible, and what are dead ends. So many dead ends. But is there any way to stop ICE from putting her friend's family on a plane in handcuffs? It seems impossible, maybe it is, but maybe it isn't. Don't underestimate Tina. New adventures for all the people you loved in the first two Tina books, Goldmine House and My Dutch Summer. Tina, Julie, Mama, and Gaga all have changes in their lives, and of course, they always love their food.
