Summary

"I am a girl but most days I feel like a question mark. Makeda June Kirkland is eleven years old, adopted, and black. Her parents and big sister are white, and even though she loves her family very much, Keda often feels left out. When Keda's family moves from Maryland to New Mexico, she leaves behind her best friend, Lena? the only other adopted black girl she knows? for a new life. In New Mexico, everything is different. At home, Keda?s sister is too cool to hang out with her anymore, and at school, she can?t seem to find one true friend. Through it all, Keda can?t help wondering: What would it feel like to grow up with a family that looks like me?"--Book jacket
