Booklist - 02/15/2022 Twelve-year-old Cuban American Maggie Diaz is excited to start seventh grade in Miami, and after a less-than-satisfactory summer, when her friends were away and her abuela became her roommate, Maggie is ready to jump back into school and have some fun. But middle school proves to be more challenging than expected: Maggie and her two best friends are split up among classes, the campus is huge, and Maggie just isn’t feeling the middle-school magic—yet. As the school year progresses, readers will witness Maggie undergo the highs and lows of new experiences, not to mention the changes in her friend group, as she takes matters into her own hands and creates her own joy, learning from those around her. Witty, funny, and entirely relatable, Moreno’s characters are accompanied by detailed illustrations by Lovett, who really brings West Memorial Middle School to life. Maggie’s story is a reminder that not every day is perfect but that we can still grow and thrive when we bring positive energy to it. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
