Book
"After a brief history of U.S. immigration, which seems like unnecessary filler, this pedestrian text gives commonsense advice on how teens and their parents can fit into a new culture while holding on to their heritages. Stress is given to the benefits of bilingualism. Occasional quotes, boxed information, and sharp photographs, generally in color, add some interest to a relatively dull text. Errors have crept in: the Cuban American girl pictured is probably celebrating her quincea-era, or 15th birthday, not turning "sweet sixteen"; and in 1892, Ellis Island processed well over 5000 immigrants on a busy day, far more than the figure of 2000 given here.-Diane S.
