Merci Suárez Changes Gears by Meg Medina

4.0

A bittersweet look at the difficulties of change in your family and in becoming a middle schooler. Merci would like a new bike, but she would like most things to stay the same: her camaraderie with her grandfather, playing kickball at recess, being friends with lots of different people rather than just who is deemed cool by the Queen Bee. It's a tough time, and we walk with Merci through those first few months of 6th grade. Very good.
