Publisher's Synopsis
Jasmine de los Santos has always done what's expected of her. Beautiful and popular, she has worked hard to get a scholarship to college. When she receives an invitation to a national educational award, her parents are forced to tell her that their visas expired years ago. This means no scholarship, perhaps no college, and maybe even deportation. For the first time ever, Jasmine rebels. She does not know where she fits into the American dream. She will not give up. If the rules she has lived by no longer apply, she will simply invent her own.
