Publisher's summary
Having things come to you easily is a privilege that should not be misused. Some want what you have but are not given it. Penny tells the story of a little girl who has everything she ever wanted given to her, she has parents who are willing to grant all that she would ever dream of. Her parents have been blessed by God.
Penny is a spoilt child. She has been over pampered by her parents who innocently provide her with all she asks as their only child. Penny never appreciates anyone, nor the selfless services rendered to her.
Penny was known as the queen of troubles. She is impolite, ungrateful, and lousy on top of being a spoilt child with no regard for anyone. Everyone who crosses paths with Penny, both old and young, have nothing but negative words to say about her. At home, school and church, Penny leaves a signature which means she only has two friends.
Will Penny learn her lesson? Will it be too late to change? Will Penny gain friends?
Find out in this story which teaches you to never to take anything or anyone for granted.

Ever since she was a child, every aspect of Julia Haart’s life—what she wore, what she ate, what she thought—was controlled by the dictates of ultra-Orthodox Judaism. At 19, after a lifetime spent caring for her seven younger siblings, she was married off to a man she barely knew. For the next 23 years, her marriage would rule her life. Eventually, when Haart’s younger daughter, Miriam, started to innocently question why she wasn’t allowed to sing in public, run in shorts, or ride a bike without being covered from neck to knee, Haart reached a breaking point.

America Ferrera has always felt wholly American, and yet, her identity is inextricably linked to her parents’ homeland and Honduran culture. Speaking Spanish at home, having Saturday morning salsa-dance parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her American identity. Still, she yearned to see that identity reflected in the larger American narrative. Now, in American Like Me, America invites 31 of her friends, peers, and heroes to share their stories about life between cultures.

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.
