Merci Suarez no sabe bailar

Meg Medina

In Meg Medina’s follow-up to her Newbery Medal-winning novel, Merci takes on seventh grade, with all its travails of friendship, family, love-and finding your rhythm.

Septimo grado va a ser todo un desafio para Merci Suarez: los maestros son mas estrictos, las amistades son mas complicadas y su familia es todavia… bueno, ellos siempre hacen que las cosas sean interesantes. Merci tambien tiene que gestionar la tienda de la escuela con un varon… y el hecho de que el es -pudieramos decir- amable hace que todo sea aun mas confuso. Y tambien esta Edna Santos, mas mandona que nunca, especialmente ahora que esta a cargo de un evento anual: el Baile de los Corazones.

Sin embargo, una cosa es cierta: Merci Suarez no sabe bailar…, ni en el Baile de los Corazones ni en ninguna parte. La idea de bailar en publico le da casi tanta nausea como el amor, y Merci ha estado pensando en el amor mas de lo que ella quisiera, especialmente ahora que tia Ines parece que tiene novio. Merci solia hablar de todo con Lolo, pero ahora que el Alzheimer de su abuelo se esta empeorando, ?en quien podra confiar ella para que la ayude a entender todas las cosas nuevas que ocurren en su vida?

Desde nuevas relaciones hasta conflictos con sus amistades y cambios en la familia, los lectores se deleitaran al ver a Merci descubrir el amor en sus multiples formas en esta continuacion de la novela ganadora de la Medalla Newbery.

Seventh grade is going to be tough for Merci Suarez. Her no-nonsense science teacher expects her to be a smart as her brother, Roli. She’s been assigned to co-manage the school store with Wilson Bellevue, a boy she barely knows but might actually like. And then there’s Edna Santos, who is more obnoxious than ever now that she’s in charge of the annual Heart Ball. One thing is for sure, though: Merci Suarez can’t dance, not even at the Heart Ball. Dancing makes her almost as queasy as love does, especially now that merengue-teaching Tia Ines has a new man in her life. Merci used to confide in her grandfather, Lolo, but with his Alzheimer’s getting worse, whom can she trust to help her make sense of all the changes in her life? The Suarez family is back in a touching, funny story about growing up and discovering love’s many forms, including how we learn to love and believe in ourselves. Now in a Spanish edition.
