Summary: "You’re having an amazing family holiday, one where everyone is there and all eighteen of you are squeezed into one house. Fast forward to 4 o’clock in the morning, and there’s banging and yelling and screaming. The police are in the house, pulling people out of bed … Like many 13-year-old girls, Sofia’s main worries are how she can earn enough pocket money to buy the groovy go-go boots that are all the rage, and if she will die of embarrassment giving a speech she has to do for school! It comes as a surprise to Sofia and her family when her big brother, Lenny, talks about protests, overstayers and injustices against Pacific Islanders. Through her spirited and heartfelt diary entries, we join Sofia as she navigates life in the 1970s and is inspired by the courageous and tireless work of the Polynesian Panthers as they encourage immigrant families across New Zealand to stand up for their rights"--Publisher information.
