Break A Leg!

By Mirella Utsler

Has your family ever moved somewhere new and felt confident in a language - until everyone around you started talking in phrases that made no sense at all? Idioms can turn even fluent English speakers into confused (and hilarious) messes.

When the Torres family moves from South America to the United States, they're sure their English is ready for anything. Then their kids' school talent show throws them for a loop: someone tells nervous performer Sara to "break a leg," a friend says a magic act will be "a piece of cake," and by the time it's "raining cats and dogs" outside, the whole family is more confused (and cracking up) than ever. One hilarious mix-up at a time, the Torres family learns that even the trickiest English expressions get easier with a little help - and a lot of laughs along the way.

A funny, heartwarming story about immigrant families, learning a new language, and the confidence that comes from pushing through confusion instead of giving up. A perfect read for English language learners, bilingual classrooms, and any family navigating a big move to a new country.

Great for ages 6-11. A must-read for ELL classrooms and any kid learning that "getting it wrong" is just part of getting it right.
