      About This Book

      Meet Amina Banana! She's a determined and clever third grader, and star of a new chapter book series with a STEM twist. Perfect for readers of The Questioneers and Junie B. Jones!

      Amina loves bananas, science, and all things yellow! Her family recently arrived from Syria to Indiana, and she's starting at a brand-new school in a brand-new country. She's excited but also nervous, especially about making friends! But she develops the perfect formula to get everything just right:

      Speak English + wear a perfect outfit + be a good student + eat American food = Make American Friends! 

      When the first few days are harder than Amina imagined, she's left worrying: why doesn't her formula add up?
