A realistic and deeply moving portrayal of a young Latina girl and
her close-knit intergenerational family navigating friendship,
bullying and illness. Merci Suárez knew that sixth grade would be
different, but she had no idea just how different. For starters, as
strong and thoughtful as Merci is, she has never been completely
like the other kids at her private school in Florida, because she
and her older brother, Roli, are scholarship students. They don’t
have a big house or a fancy boat, and they have to do extra
community service to make up for their free tuition. So when bossy
Edna Santos sets her sights on the new boy who happens to be
Merci’s school-assigned Sunshine Buddy, Merci becomes the target
of Edna’s jealousy. Things aren't going well at home, either:
Merci’s grandfather and most trusted ally, Lolo, has been acting
strangely lately – forgetting important things, falling from his
bike, and getting angry over nothing. And Merci is left to her own
worries, because no one in her family will tell her what's going
on. Winner of the 2019 Newbery Medal, this coming-of-age tale by
New York Times best-selling author Meg Medina gets to the heart of
the confusion and constant change that defines middle school –
and the steadfast connection that defines family.
