To make matters worse, Lia gets her first period while at the airport, and she soon finds herself in a world where her home, her language, and even her body is different. She struggles to learn French, make friends, and adapt to life in Canada, and soon Lia worries she'll never feel like herself again. But with a spot on the school newspaper, some new friends, and a crush on a boy who might like her back, things start to look up for Lia.
