Mimi, 12 ans, vient de quitter la Californie pour s'installer dans une petite ville du Vermont. Nous sommes en 1969 et Mimi a du mal à trouver sa place. En tant que nouvelle étudiante mi-noire et mi-japonaise qui veut être astronaute, Mimi se demande si elle sera un jour heureuse dans sa nouvelle ville, et si elle et sa famille seront un jour acceptées.
Favorite Quote from Full Cicada Moon by Marilyn Hilton
When Mimi thinks this, she realizes that the secretary knew that a new girl was expected from California, but Mimi was not at all what she pictured. This part is important because it shows one of the many subtle ways that Mimi encountered racism, and that even though it wasn't intentional, it was still hurtful.
Maybe she was expecting a new girl from California, but not expecting me.
