Not So Shy

by Noa Nimrodi (Author)

Not So Shy
Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade

Twelve-year-old Shai hates everything about moving to America from Israel.

She's determined to come up with a plan that will get her back home. Maybe she can go back with her grandparents when they come to visit. Or maybe she can win a drawing competition that offers a plane ticket to any destination in the world as the grand prize. Meanwhile she's stuck navigating seventh grade in a language that used to be just a subject in school. As Shai faces antisemitism but also gains support from unexpected sources, she starts to see her new life with different eyes. Maybe home is a place in the heart.
