From the author of Stef Soto, Taco Queen comes this story about
sisterhood, friendship, and the intricacies of blended families.
The Mendoza sisters need a do-over! Raquel and Lucinda used to be
inseparable. But ever since their parents split, Raquel has been
acting like editor-in-chief of their lives. To avoid her
overbearing sister, Lucinda spends most of her time with her
headphones on, practicing her skating routine. Then a pandemic
hits, and the sisters are forced to spend the lockdown at their
dad's ranch house. Suddenly Raquel sees a chance to get back
everything they've lost. If they can convince their mom to come
along, maybe they can get their parents to fall in love again and
give their family a second chance, a do-over. But at the ranch,
they get a not-so-welcome surprise: their dad's new girlfriend and
her daughter are already living there! Lucinda finds she actually
likes them, which only makes Raquel more desperate to get rid of
them. And as her Raquel's schemes get more and more out of hand,
Lucinda starts to wonder what they are really fighting for. Is
trying to bring the Mendoza family back together really just
tearing them further apart?
Griselda "Geez" Zaragoza has a love for beautiful things, like her
collection of vintage teacups and the flower garden she and her dad
planted in the front yard. But when his business fails, Griselda
loses not just her home but also her confidence and her trust in
her unflappable parents. Tagging along with big sister Maribel, who
postponed college for a job selling Alma Cosmetics, Geez dreams up
a way to reclaim the life she thinks she lost: If she can sell
enough tubes of glistening, glittery Alma lip gloss, she'll win a
cash prize that could help jump start her dad's business. With ups
and downs along the way, Geez will discover that beauty isn't just
lost or found but made and re-made.
A heartwarming middle grade about family, friendship, and finding your voice (plus, tacos!).
Seventh grader Estefania "Stef" Soto is itching to shake off the onion-and-cilantro embrace of Tia Perla, her family's taco truck. She wants nothing more than for her dad to get a normal job and for Tia Perla to be put out to pasture. It's no fun being known as the "Taco Queen" at school.
But just when new city regulations are proposed, and her family's livelihood is threatened, she will have to become the truck's unlikely champion.
In this fun and multicultural middle grade novel, Stef will embrace her identity and discover what matters most.

One Day at a Time meets Mindy Kim in this first book in a charming
new chapter book series about Catalina Castaneda, a Mexican
American girl with a magical sewing kit! Catalina Castaneda is not
persnickety, even though that's what her parents and sister, Coco,
like to think. Catalina just likes things the way she likes
them--perfect. That's why it's very hard to hide her disappointment
when her glamorous Tia Abuela, a famous telenovela actress, gives
her an old sewing kit for her eighth birthday. However, Catalina
soon discovers the sewing kit isn't as boring as she thinks--it's
magic, turning ordinary clothing into magical disguises. When Tia
Abuela's most famous costume has rhinestones stolen from it where
it's being displayed at the local library, Catalina gets to work on
creating the perfect disfraz (disguise) to track down the thief.
But, as Tia Abuela warned her, the magic is only as strong as her
stiches, and Catalina doesn't always have the patience for
practice...
