Eleven-year-old Zomorod has moved four times in her short life, starting with her family's move from Iran to America. Starting over yet again and now entering middle school, Zomorod decides to go by "Cindy" to make the new girl transition a bit easier. She does make some friends despite having to sidestep ignorant questions about camels and other perceived notions of her culture; and that's only if people realize she and her family aren't Mexican.
