From three-time Newbery Honoree Christina Soontornvat and award-winning historian Erika Lee comes a middle grade nonfiction that shines a light on the generations of Asian Americans who have transformed the United States and who continue to shape what it means to be American.Asian American history is not made up of one single story. It's many. And it's a story that too often goes untold. It begins centuries before America even exists as a nation. It is connected to the histories of Western conquest and colonialism. It's a story of migration; of people and families crossing the Pacific Ocean in search of escape, opportunity, and new beginnings.It is also the story of race and racism. Of being labeled an immigrant invasion, unfit to become citizens, and being banned, deported, and incarcerated. Of being blamed for bringing diseases into the country.It is also a story of bravery and hope. It is the story of heroes who fought for equality in the courts, on the streets, and in the schools, and who continue to fight in solidarity with others doing the same.This book is a stirring account of the ordinary people and extraordinary acts that made Asian America and the young people who are remaking America today.

Ever since the lights went down at her first Revolver concert, Natalie has known she wants to work in the music industry. Now, the summer before college, she has her dream job interning for Revolver's managers at Clouded. At first, it's a lot of paperwork and phone calls and organizing, but she is becoming friends with her celebrity crush, Revolver's gorgeous guitarist, Jonathan Becker. Sure, he's bringing her iced coffee and they're going hiking, but there's a strict code of conduct, and dating an artist would end both the internship and any hope she has at a career in the tight-knit industry. It's not a risk she can take, especially when she's offered two weeks as Revolver's tour manager. The experience will set her up for a full-time touring position next summer and put her solidly on track for any job she wants after college. It's the opportunity of a lifetime. As long as she and Jonathan can keep things professional. After all, it was just one kiss on the tour bus...right?
