When Sonia's father loses his job and she must move from her small, supportive private school to a public middle school, the half-Jewish half-Indian sixth-grader experiences culture shock as she tries to navigate the school's unfamiliar social scene, and after her father is diagnosed with clinical depression, she finds herself becoming even more confused about herself and her family.

Review of 'The whole story of half a girl' on 'Goodreads'

It is a fact that I know what it is like to be a girl in this world. I found this book very realistic. It is easy to relate to Sonia. I know what it is to be searching for where one fits in and realizing there is no fit because we cannot all be categorized. This is one of many steps to finding one's identity. This book has integrity and I like that.
