Merci Suárez Changes Gears by Meg Medina

4.0

It was a very good read. Maybe an odd thing to remark on, but I am surprised there is not an Alzheimer's Disease - Juvenile Fiction subject tag on this. Her grandfather's decline is a major theme throughout the book. The situation and her reactions to first NOT knowing what was going on with him and then her reactions when she is told could be very helpful to a young reader dealing with this in their own family. It's also what made it a tearful read for me. The author even talks about it in her note and gives a shout-out to the Alzheimer's Association.
