| Summary |
This humorous and heartfelt middle-grade debut by Nina Moreno with illustrations by Courtney Lovett is perfect for fansof Celia C. Pérez and Terri Libenson, and any reader still deciding what their passion in life is. "MAYBE I'M GOOD AT SOMETHING I DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT YET."Everyone in Maggie Diaz's life seems to be finding their true passion. The one thing that defines them as a person. Her bestfriends Zoey and Julian are too busy to hang out after school thanks to band and comics club. Mom is finishing her last semesterin college. And Maggie's perfect older sister Caro is perfectly-perfect at sports and tutoring.So Maggie cooks up a plan to join every club she can! But trying to fit in with type-A future leaders, gardening whizzes, and thefearless kids in woodshop is intimidating, exhausting, and seriously confusing. And juggling homework, friends, and all of her afterschoolactivities is way harder than it looks.Seventh grade is all about figuring out who you are -- good thing Maggie Diaz has the perfect plan! Courtney Lovett received her BFA in Visual Arts and Animation from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She works in different mediums and artistic disciplines, including illustration, character design, and animation. As a Black American and a native of the DC, Maryland, Virginia area, her work reflects her heritage and upbringing, which adds to today's cultural shift of creating diverse and relatable stories from perspectives that are often underrepresented or misrepresented in art and media. Nina Moreno was born and raised in Miami until a hurricane sent her family toward the pines of Georgia where she picked up an accent. She's a proud University of Florida Gator who once had her dream job of shelving books at the library. Inspired by the folklore and stories passed down to her from her Cuban and Colombian family, she now writes about Latinas chasing their dreams, falling in love, and navigating life in the hyphen. Her first novel, Don't Date Rosa Santos, was a Junior Library Guild Selection, Indie Next Pick for teen readers, and SIBA Okra Pick. Her upcoming novel, Our Way Back to Always, will be out from LBYR in Fall 2021. |
