  • More about Merci Suarez Changes Gears

Merci Suárez is a young Latina girl navigating friendship, bullying, and illness with her close-knit intergenerational family. She becomes the target of Edna Santos' jealousy and her grandfather, Lolo, is acting strangely. This coming-of-age tale by Meg Medina won the 2019 Newbery Medal.

Publisher: Walker Books Ltd


Merci Suárez anticipated that sixth grade would be distinct, but she had no idea how different it would be. Merci, for all her strength and insight, has never quite fit in with the other students at her private school in Florida, as she and her older brother, Roli, are scholarship students. They don't have a large house or a fancy boat, and they have to perform extra community service to compensate for their free tuition. So, when bossy Edna Santos sets her sights on the new boy, who happens to be Merci's school-assigned Sunshine Buddy, Merci becomes the target of Edna's jealousy.

Things at home are also not going well: Merci's grandfather, Lolo, has been acting strangely lately, forgetting important things, falling from his bike, and getting angry over nothing. Merci is left to deal with her own worries, as no one in her family will tell her what is going on.

Winner of the 2019 Newbery Medal, this coming-of-age tale by New York Times best-selling author Meg Medina delves into the confusion and constant change that defines middle school and the unwavering connection that defines family.
