El sexto grado no está resultando como Merci Suárez esperaba. Como estudiante becada en su escuela privada, nunca ha encajado del todo, y ahora debe ser la 'amiga de arco iris' de un nuevo estudiante, lo que despierta los celos de una compañera. En casa las cosas tampoco andan bien: su querido abuelo Lolo actúa de forma extraña, olvida cosas y se enoja fácilmente, pero nadie le explica qué sucede. Entre problemas de amistad, secretos familiares y las torpezas de crecer, esta cálida y divertida novela galardonada captura las realidades agridulces de la preadolescencia y la fuerza perdurable de los lazos familiares.

English Translation

Merci Suárez Changes Gears

Sixth grade is turning out to be nothing like Merci Suárez expected. As a scholarship student at her private school, she's never quite fit in, and now she's stuck being the assigned 'Sunshine Buddy' to a new boy, drawing the jealous ire of a classmate. At home, things are just as unsettled: her beloved grandfather Lolo is acting strangely, forgetting things and losing his temper, but no one will tell Merci what's wrong. Balancing friendship troubles, family secrets, and the awkwardness of growing up, this warm, funny, award-winning novel captures the bittersweet realities of middle school and the enduring strength of family bonds.
