Full Cicada Moon (Marilyn Hilton)

Summary: It's 1969, and the Apollo 11 mission is getting ready to go to the moon.  But for half-black, half-Japanese Mimi, moving to a predominantly white Vermont town is enough to make her feel alien.  Suddenly, Mimi's appearance is all anyone notices.  She struggles to fit in with her classmates, even as she fights for her right to stand out by entering science competitions and joining shop class instead of home ec.  And even though teachers and neighbors balk at her mixed-race family and her refusals to conform, Mimi's dreams of becoming an astronaut never fade--no matter how many times she's told no.
