Sixth graders Anika Veerkar, Benicio "Benny" Flores, and Libby Abrams
constantly study their surroundings, hoping to find the next feature
story for their online neighborhood newsletter. But they've never turned
their inquisitive gazes on themselves before. A chance question about
Libby's door decoration leads the friends to realize they're all from
immigrant families. This discovery prompts their next big questions:
Where are our families from? Why and how did they come to the United
States? As the friends learn their families' histories and deal with
upsetting news about Anika's stay in the country, they vow to cherish
what brings them together. Anika, Benny, and Libby are neighborhood
friends--and known to be relentlessly curious. They're always asking
questions, and their interest in sharing the answers has led them to
start an online newsletter. Encouraged by their parents, they venture
out into the community to investigate the most engaging mysteries.
