Me Llamo María Isabel

The hardest thing for María Isabel Salazar López about being the new girl in a new school is that the teacher doesn't call her by her name. "We already have two Marías in this class," the teacher tells her. "Why don't we call you Mary?"

But María Isabel was named that in memory of her father's mother and Chabela, her beloved Puerto Rican grandmother. Can she make the teacher understand that losing her name is losing the most important part of herself?
