Luckily, when the Acostas host their dancer friends from Cuba for a special performance with the American Ballet Theatre, Sofía learns there's more than dance holding her family together. Between swapping stories about Cuba, sharing holiday celebrations, and Sofía learning more about costume design, the Acostas have never been more of a team. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Sofía finds out about the dancers' secret plans to defect to the United States and makes a serious mistake--she confides in her best friend, only to discover that Tricia doesn't want \"outsiders\" moving to their community. Now Sofía wonders what the other neighbors in her tight-knit suburban town really think of immigrant families like hers. Sofía doesn't want to make a scene, but if she doesn't speak up, how will she figure out if her family really belongs?","brand":"Yearling Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086409392279,"sku":"9780593372661","price":663.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780593372661.webp?v=1769202235","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sofia-acosta-makes-a-scene-9780593372661","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
