"Mimi is not thrilled to be spending her summer in Karachi, Pakistan, with grandparents she's never met. Fortunately, she has a beautiful new journal where she can write about all her experiences -- but secretly, she plans to use it to write to her long-absent father. On the other side of town, Sakina still hasn't told her parents that all she needs to be accepted to school is to improve her English test score -- and figure out how her family could possibly afford to lose the money she earns working with her abba in a rich family's kitchen. When the two girls first meet, they think they are way too different to ever be friends. But as the summer goes on, Sakina and Mimi realize they each need the other to help get what they want most -- and soon learn that they have plenty in common, including their kind hearts, big dreams, and all the right questions."--, Provided by publisherMimi is not thrilled to be spending her summer in Karachi, Pakistan, with grandparents she’s never met.
