In a satisfying finale to her trilogy, Newbery Medalist Meg Medina follows Merci Su rez into an eighth-grade year full of changes-evolving friendships, new responsibilities, and heartbreaking loss.

For Merci Su rez, eighth grade means a new haircut, nighttime football games, and an out-of-town overnight field trip. At home, it means more chores and keeping an eye on Lolo as his health worsens. It's a year filled with more responsibility and independence, but also with opportunities to reinvent herself. Merci has always been fine with not being one of the popular kids like Avery Sanders, who will probably be the soccer captain and is always traveling to fun places and buying new clothes. But then Avery starts talking to Merci more, and not just as a teammate. Does this mean they're friends? Merci wants to play it cool, but with Edna always in her business, it's only a matter of time before Merci has to decide where her loyalty stands. Whether Merci is facing school drama or changing family dynamics, readers will empathize as she discovers who she can count on-and what can change in an instant-in Meg Medina's heartfelt conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Newbery Medal-winning novel.
