Winner of the 2019 Newbery Medal, this novel brilliantly captures the struggles of growing up in a way that readers of all ages will appreciate. As a scholarship student, sixth-grader Merci Suárez feels out of place at her elite private school in Florida. Life in her multigenerational household isn’t going so well either; Merci’s grandfather has been acting oddly lately, and her parents won’t explain what’s going on. With pressure at school and uncertainties at home, Merci is left alone to navigate the confusion and change that only middle school can bring.
