* Many readers will recognize themselves or their neighbors in these pages. -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Mia Tang has a lot of secrets.

Number 1: She lives in a motel, not a big house. Every day, while her immigrant parents clean the rooms, ten-year-old Mia manages the front desk of the Calivista Motel and tends to its guests.

Number 2: Her parents hide immigrants. And if the mean motel owner, Mr. Yao, finds out they've been letting them stay in the empty rooms for free, the Tangs will be doomed.

Number 3: She wants to be a writer. But how can she when her mom thinks she should stick to math because English is not her first language?

It will take all of Mia's courage, kindness, and hard work to get through this year. Will she be able to hold on to her job, help the immigrants and guests, escape Mr. Yao, and go for her dreams?

Great after tretinoin, post laser or for dry skin
This is fantastic post laser treatment. It is such a nice calming texture- no actives at all, just an extremely well formulated moisturizer that feel like silk on the skin. Fantastic and well priced. Great after tretinoin also.

Great Product!
This saved me after a micro needling session. Well worth it, cooled my face and neck. It kept my face well moisturized.

A godsend!!!
Like many others have claimed, this was an absolute godsend for saving my damaged skin barrier. I have combination skin type so gel version was way more effective on my skin than the cream version and did not pill. My only reservation is that it’s such a small amount of product for the price. I felt that I went through this bottle faster than I would have like for the price I paid.

I’ve been really impressed with La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel B5. The lightweight gel texture feels soothing and absorbs quickly without leaving my skin greasy or sticky. It has helped calm dry, irritated areas and noticeably improved the appearance of my skin barrier after just a few uses. I especially love that it’s fragrance-free and gentle enough for sensitive skin. It layers well with the rest of my skincare routine and works great on dry patches, redness, and minor irritation. A little goes a long way

Saved my skin during the winter
Such a great multi-purpose product!! I’ll use under my eyes if my skin is dry, or if I’m using an active that I know will dry my skin. I also would slather it on during the winter if I was walking or running outside and I knew it would be windy. It really helped against windburn.
