Seventh grade is going to be tough for Merci Surez. 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 Surez can't dance, not even at the Heart Ball. Dancing makes her almost as queasy as love does, especially now that merengue-teaching Ta Ins 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 Surez 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.
