"Full Cicada Moon" by Marilyn Hilton is a middle-grade novel that tells the story of a biracial girl named Mimi who is navigating her identity in 1960s America. Set against the backdrop of social change, Mimi is passionate about science and dreams of becoming an astronaut, but faces challenges due to her Japanese heritage and the racial tensions of the time. As she grapples with her sense of belonging, friendships, and family expectations, Mimi strives to find her voice and place in a world that often feels divided. Through her journey, she learns the importance of resilience and self-acceptance. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
