Viva New Jersey By Cheryl M. Hamilton
Viva New Jersey Lucinda recently moved from Cuba to New Jersey with her family. She hasn’t made any friends yet, and she longs to be back in Cuba. Lucinda rescues an abandoned dog and brings him home, although pets are not allowed in the building where she lives. The dog causes the power in her building to go off and runs away. Lucinda searches for the dog. One of her classmates, a girl who also has trouble making friends, helps her. They become friends.
