Kelly Yang

Mia Tang has a lot of secrets. Number 1: She lives in a motel, not a big house.

Every day, while her parents clean the rooms, Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests.

Number 2: Her parents hide immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, Mr. Yao, finds out they've been letting them stay in the empty rooms for free, the Tangs will be doomed.

Number 3: 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? 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 go for her dreams?

Room to dream

Mia Tang is going for the goal in the fourth book in the Waterstones Prize Shortlisted Front Desk Series! The Women's World Cup is coming to California and, with the U.S. playing China in the finals, Mia feels like her two identities are finally coming together. Less exciting is the fact that her P.E. teacher wants Mia to get out and play football too – or she won't earn a spot at journalism camp. But, as always, Mia Tang is ready with a plan...

It's not always easy though; as Mia aims for her goals, she'll have to face prejudice, discrimination, and her own fears. But if anyone can find a way to win, it's Mia Tang!
