* Many readers will recognize themselves or their neighbors in these pages. -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Mia Tang has a lot of secrets.

Number 1: She lives in a motel, not a big house. Every day, while her immigrant parents clean the rooms, ten-year-old Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests.

Number 2: Her parents hide immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, Mr. Yao, finds out they've been letting them stay in the empty rooms for free, the Tangs will be doomed.

Number 3: She wants to be a writer. But how can she when her mom thinks she should stick to math because English is not her first language?

It will take all of Mia's courage, kindness, and hard work to get through this year. Will she be able to hold on to her job, help the immigrants and guests, escape Mr. Yao, and go for her dreams?

works quickly
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This Aquaphor ointment has been the best thing combined with the cotton white gloves for my dry and cracked fingers. In the winter or even when I am in the kitchen a lot and my hands are in the hard AZ water, this is a great treatment to help heal my skin and ease the discomfort. Just after one or two nights of using the two combined, my skin is renewed and healing.

Good for the skin
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube, Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
I’ve been using Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced and it’s honestly been a lifesaver for my skin. I apply it on dry areas like my lips, hands, and even small dry patches, and it helps them feel soft and moisturized really fast. I like that it has a thick texture, so it really locks in moisture and protects the skin. It’s especially good at night when my skin feels extra dry because I wake up with everything feeling way smoother. It’s also very gentle, so I don’t get any irritation when I use it. Overall, it’s one of those products I always keep at home because it works so well for healing and keeping my skin hydrated.

Good product. Here's a tip for best results.
Size: 7 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: 7 Ounce Tube
This is a very thick product, almost Vaseline-like in consistency (it's main ingredient is petrolatum). If you apply it to dry skin, it's going to be very difficult to spread and not do you much good. Apply to damp skin after a bath or shower to facilitate application, hold the moisture from the water in your skin, and give you the best results.

Amazing moisturizer for all skin types!
Size: 19 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this CeraVe Moisturizing Cream! It keeps my skin soft, smooth, and well-hydrated all day long. I use it on both my face and body, and it doesn’t feel greasy at all. It’s very gentle and perfect even for sensitive skin. I also like that it has no strong scent. A little goes a long way, and the size is great for the price. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable daily moisturizer!
