American Street By Ibi Zoboi

Fabiola and her mom travel from Haiti to the USA, but midway to their destination of Detroit, her mom gets detained. Fabiola makes the rest of her journey alone, and meets her cousins and aunt. Starting school, she feels 100% unsure of what will happen to her mom. But school made one thing clear- her three cousins are The schools's Three Bees, the Beauty, the Brains, and the Brawl. No one messes with them. And everyone expects Fabiola (now called "Fabulous"), to be the Fourth Bee. Eventually Fabiola gets a chance to help her mom, yet the price is uncertain. 

I would highly recommend this book!
