Book Description
This book is one of its kind, written by an immigrant who experienced firsthand the real life of an immigrant in America. It exposes the truth about the real struggles some immigrants endure when they initially set foot in American soil. The reader will be intimated on how difficult things could be for some immigrants, especially those who go to America with the preconceived idea that America is the land free of struggles. Those who plan to go to America thinking that money is easy to come by may be royally disappointed after spending a short time in America. The author writes from personal experience of the difficulties she encountered, some of which could have derailed her goals and aspirations. In spite of all odds, her courage, perseverance, and tenacity helped her overcome and become successful in achieving the American dream. In the pages of this book, the author passionately describes examples of various adversities she endured, including racism and discrimination. Racism and discrimination were and still are endemic in American society. The author emphasizes the importance of hard work, believing in oneself, having faith in God, and persistence as the factors that helped her navigate her challenges successfully. This book is a good resource for anyone who has plans to visit or emigrate to America for any reason for an extended period of time. The reader will be well prepared and pleasantly surprised if he or she fails to experience any challenges similar to what the author has described...

Book Description
Dear Reader, This book is all about me and the cruel world that I inhabit. Ever since the reception class, I've stood out. I'd like to think this was because I am exceptionally funny, clever and stylish, but others say that it's down to my CRAZY hair and big mouth. Whatever it is, I am definitely not to blame. A LOT of people are jealous of me and that is why going to high school will be brilliant. I will meet much better people there who don't wear pink leg warmers and glitter. If it wasn't for my best friend Frances and my she-hamster, Trevor, I don't know how I'd put up with the madness. Frances gets me, even if she still wants to play princesses-get-chased-by-witch, and that's a lot more than I can say for my stupid parents who insist on ruining my life with their stupid feuds. If only I can stop being such a loser whenever Milo Costigan is around, perhaps it'll all work out okay... See you on the other side, Ginger Mclean
