Summary:  Sofía Acosta, a fifth grader trying to fit into her ballet-obsessed Cuban American family and her affluent suburban New York community, learns to speak up for herself and others when she mistakenly reveals a visiting dancer's plan to defect to the United States. "It's a good thing Sofía Acosta loves dreaming up costumes, because otherwise she's a ballet disaster -- unlike her parents, who danced under prima ballerina Alicia Alonso before immigrating to the suburbs of New York City. 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 their family together. Between swapping stories about Cuba and sharing holiday celebrations, the Acostas have neve been more of a team. Then 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 Sofí wonders what the other neighbors in her tight-knit suburban town really think of immigrant families like hers. Sofía doens't want to make a scene, but if she doesn't speak up, how will she figure out if she really belongs?" -- from publisher.
