For Maria Isabel Salazar Lopez, the hardest thing about being the new girl in school is that the teacher doesnt call her by her real name. We already have two Marias in this class, says her teacher. Why dont we call you Mary instead? But Maria Isabel has been named for her Papas mother and for Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she find a way to make her teacher see that if she loses her name, shes lost the most important part of herself?
