About the Author
Brooke Hauser has written for The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Allure, among other publications. She is originally from Miami, Florida, and now divides her time between New York City and western Massachusetts. The New Kids: Big Dreams Brave Journeys at a High School for Immigrant Teens is her first book. Recently, People magazine selected The New Kids as one of its “Great Reads,” and Parade magazine chose it as a “Parade Pick,” saying, “Brooke Hauser, who spent a year following members of the senior class, delivers a rich, extraordinarily moving account of the challenges they met—and the many ways in which kids are the same the world over.” READ MORE
