Stef Soto, Taco Queen by Jennifer Torres

4.0

This book starts off as your typical girl-being-bullied looking for a happy ending type story, but becomes so much more. I love that it was chosen for the Bluebonnet list for Texas because a large population of our students can see themselves in the Soto family. Latinos and artists need to be represented in our libraries. This book will tug on your heartstrings, teach kids to be proud of their heritage and where they come from. Stef ended up being a girl more mature than most adults I know with a moral compass that pointed due north. Great debut novel!
