Summary

Migrating to a new country brings about enormous changes in Geraldo's life. Not only is there a new language to learn, but Geraldo must make new friends and adjust to significant cultural differences.

Excerpt

My name is Geraldo. If I do well this year, I'll be going to secondary school next year. I live in a new country - a strange country. I was landed here. Grandmother Carmen says, 'Geraldo, you were thrown up here.' It seems so long ago.

There was trouble in my country. One day my parents and grandmother packed everything in a big black trunk and we boarded a plane . That's how I got here .
