520    The Newcomers follows the lives of twenty-two immigrant 
       teenagers throughout the course of the 2015-2016 school 
       year as they land at South High School in Denver, Colorado,
       in an English Language Acquisition class created 
       specifically for them. Speaking no English, unfamiliar 
       with American culture, their stories are poignant and 
       remarkable as they face the enormous challenge of 
       adapting. These newcomers, from fourteen to nineteen years
       old, come from nations convulsed by drought or famine or 
       war. Many come directly from refugee camps, after 
       experiencing dire forms of cataclysm. Some arrive alone, 
       having left or lost every other member of their original 
       family.  At the center of The Newcomers is Mr. Williams, 
       the dedicated and endlessly resourceful teacher of South’s
       very beginner English Language Acquisition class. If Mr. 
       Williams does his job right, the newcomers will leave his 
       class at the end of the school year with basic English 
       skills and new confidence, their foundation for becoming 
       Americans and finding a place in their new home.  With the
       US at a political crossroads around questions of 
       immigration, multiculturalism, and America’s role on the 
       global stage, Helen Thorpe presents a fresh and nuanced 
       perspective. The Newcomers is a transformative take on 
       these timely, important issues.
