Stef Soto, Taco Queen by Jennifer Torres
3.0
3.5 Stars
Read for Booktubeathon 2017
This was definitely more than just a book about a taco truck and a girl. It was a coming of age story, a story about family, and a story about fighting for what you want the most in life and I loved that. I didn't realize that Stef would be so willing to give up so much in order to make sure her family was ok and happy. It was nice to see the blend between Spanish and English as well. I really enjoyed that aspect. If you're looking for a diverse middle grade read with a host of interesting characters I definitely would check this out. The only reason why this didn't get a full four stars from me is because of the fact that I think that part of the book about the pop star was unneeded. There really wasn't a solid conclusion to that character so I felt like there was a better way for Torres to introduce Stef coming clean.
