Only two years old when her parents fled Iran, she didn't   learn of her undocumented status until her older sister wanted to apply for   an after-school job, but couldn't because she didn't have a Social Security   number.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Fear of deportation kept Sara up at night, but it didn't keep her from   being a teenager. She desperately wanted a green card, along with clear skin,   her own car, and a boyfriend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Americanized follows Sara's progress toward   getting her green card, but that's only a portion of her experiences as an   Iranian-\"American\" teenager. From discovering that her parents   secretly divorced to facilitate her mother's green card application to learning   how to tame her unibrow, Sara pivots gracefully from the terrifying prospect   that she might be kicked out of the country at any time to the   almost-as-terrifying possibility that she might be the only one of her   friends without a date to the prom. This moving, often hilarious story is for   anyone who has ever shared either fear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e FEATURED ON NPR'S FRESH AIR\u003cbr\u003e A NYPL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR\u003cbr\u003e A CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST OF THE BEST BOOK SELECTION\u003cbr\u003e A SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR\u003cbr\u003e FOUR STARRED REVIEWS!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A must-read, vitally important memoir. . . .
