Mia Tang includes a lot of secrets.

#1 1: She lives in a motel, not a big house. Each day, while her immigrant parents clean the rooms, ten-year-old Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests.

Number 2 2: Her parents cover immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, Mr. Yao, realizes they’ve been permitting them to stay in the vacant rooms for free, the Tangs will become doomed.

Number 3 3: She really wants to be a article writer. But how do she when her mom feels she should adhere to mathematics because English isn’t her first language?

It will take all of Mia’s courage, kindness, and hard work to get through this year. Will she be able to hold on to her job, help the immigrants and guests, escape Mr. Yao, and choose her dreams?
