At school, Rebecca helps Ana learn English, but when tasked to include Ana in a special performance, panic sets in. Will Ana's broken English ruin the show? As the event approaches, Rebecca must confront her fears and discover what truly matters. Can she find a way to support Ana without jeopardizing the performance?

From the publisher

At last, cousin Ana has arrived at Ellis Island, and Rebecca can’t wait to meet her. She’s sure they’ll be just like sisters, doing everything together. It’s crowded with two families in one small apartment, but Rebecca is happy to share everything with Ana, even her clothes! At school, Rebecca is determined to help her cousin learn English and keep up in class, in spite of the other kids’ teasing. But when the teacher tells her to include Ana in a special performance, Rebecca panics–Ana’s broken English will ruin the show! Rebecca realizes this is one thing she does not want to do with her cousin. But how can she explain this to Ana?
