Réception, bonjour!

Yang, Kelly


Traduction de: Front Desk. Mia devrait se réjouir: après quelques années de misère, ses parents, immigrants chinois, ont désormais un emploi et un toit où vivre depuis qu'ils sont devenus les gérants du motel Calavista, à Anaheim, en Californie. Par contre, la fille de douze ans, qui maîtrise encore difficilement l'anglais, se sent plus ou moins à l'aise de s'occuper de la réception pour permettre à son père et à sa mère de laver les chambres. Surtout, elle n'ose pas dire à son école qu'elle habite non pas dans une maison, mais dans le lieu de travail de sa famille. Si la situation n'est pas si catastrophique, les Tang acceptent que d'autres immigrants sans le toit logent dans les chambres lorsque celles-ci ne sont pas louées. Or, si cela venait aux oreilles de monsieur Yao, le propriétaire dénué de toute sympathie, ce sont Mia et ses parents qui risquent de se retrouver à la rue.

Speechless

Mook-Sang, Jennifer


Jelly is as surprised as anyone when he decides that he’s going to win the annual sixth grade speech contest. Just like that, Joe Alton Miles, better known as Jelly (because his initials are J.A.M. and his best friends are P.B.), is faced with overcoming not only his terror of being in the spotlight, but also the wrath of smart, popular Victoria, who believes that the prize (like all prizes) is rightfully hers. At first, Jelly only cares about winning the awesome prize (a new tablet), but as Victoria escalates her campaign against him, Jelly begins to realize that it’s not only the prize that’s at stake, but also his reputation, his self-respect and the friendship he values most. Jelly must dig deep inside himself to find out if he’s strong enough to stand up to Victoria and show everyone what he’s really capable of. Hilariously funny and just as poignant, Speechless is about finding out who your friends are, giving back, standing up to bullying and finding your own unique voice.
