Someone New

A fabulous companion book to O’Brien’s other book, I Am New Here.  We see the same characters in the same situations, facing the struggles of being new in school in a place where you don’t speak the language or know anyone, and things all seem different.  But this time the story is told from the perspectives of the children who have been at the school and have been asked to welcome the newcomers.  We see how they want to be welcoming but are unsure what to do, and how they overcome their uncertainties to make new friends.
