Merci Suárez Can't Dance by Meg Medina

4.0

This is a nice followup story to the author's Newbery Award winning book. I enjoyed this one just as much as the first book as it is a heartwarming story of family and friendships from the perspective of a middle schooler. Granted there might be just a bit too much emphasis on relationships with boys for my interest but I think that is quite likely realistic. The underlying story of her grandfather's dementia was just sad but provides a good contrast. I would recommend this book to any young reader 10 and older especially those interested in the middle school social scene.
