See below for English description.
Mia Tang a beaucoup de secrets. Le premier, c'est qu'au lieu d'habiter une grande maison, elle vit dans un motel. Tous les jours, pendant que ses parents immigrants font le m nage des chambres, Mia s'occupe de l'accueil du motel Calivista et re oit les clients. Le deuxi me, c'est que ses parents cachent des immigrants. Et si l'horrible propri taire du motel, M. Yao, d couvre que des immigrants occupent gratuitement les chambres libres de son tablissement, la famille Tang sera perdue. Et le dernier, c'est que Mia veut devenir crivaine. Mais sa m re voudrait qu'elle continue faire des maths, car l'anglais n'est pas sa langue maternelle. Mia saura-t-elle faire preuve d'assez de courage et de gentillesse, et travailler suffisamment pour survivre cette ann e scolaire?Mia Tang has a lot of secrets. Firstly, she lives in a motel, not a big house. Every day, while her immigrant parents clean the rooms, Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests.
Secondly, her parents hide immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, M. Yao, finds out they've been letting them stay in the empty rooms for free, the Tangs will be doomed.
Thirdly, she wants to be a writer. But how can she when her mom thinks she should stick to math because English is not her first language? Will Mia muster up enough courage, kindness, and hard work to get through this year?
