Generation Misfits

Generation Misfits by Akemi Dawn Bowman is a heartwarming, fish-out-of-water own voices story about an eleven-year-old Japanese-American girl named Millie who is attending a real school for the first time. She dreams of finally having friends and a little bit of freedom. Millie finds her chance when she joins an imitation band of her favorite J-Pop group, where she meets a group of misfits who quickly become a tightknit group of friends that are like family. However, Millie soon realizes that one of them is dealing with problems bigger than what notes to hit when it comes time for their performance. Can Millie help her friend, even when their problem feels too big to say out loud?
