6  Nadria: (main character, protagonist).  Nadria is about seventeen, and a junior in high school. Nadria is a regular teenager, who does not like school or homework, is always eating, not healthy things so her family calls her fat and who is compared to her older sister Ashia almost day of her life.

She is the Valedictorian for her high school, she is the president on the debate team. Ashia may be a smart girl but she is the one who tries the hardest to get her family back.

8  Ali- Uncle, Auntie, Uncle, Taslima,Torqe, and Mr. Rashid,. (minor characters)  All of these people are Nadria’s and Ashia’s family who they live with and help them as much as they can in the book to get there visa papers and back to their family.

11  Nadria and Ashisa risk their lives to save there parents.  They go to countless lawyers to see if they can get there visas signed.  Auntie and Uncle and their daughter are taken in for questioning about there visas.

12  Nadria and her sister get enough money to go to Mr. Rashiad.  Waitng in courtroom, to see if they get there father back.

13  Mr. Rashiad grants Nadria and her family residency and signs there visa cards.  Nadria and her family agree its time to go home.

14  I would rate this book a five. I rate it that because it is not written in the best way. The way it is written is a little bit confusing, but it is still a good book. I would recommend it to anyone.
