I really liked this one! Just a funny, bittersweet realistic novel about a young Latina girl goin' through some rough shit. A good one for kids looking for Sad Cancer Books (you know they are). Chia's struggle over the fact that her gifted younger sister Carmen ends up in higher level math than she's in will also ring true for a lot of people, as will the social struggles Carmen faces. I also loved Chia's quirky friends, especially Shawntae, who believes she is psychic. I also appreciated that it included Chia's culture and faith, particularly in response to her mother's cancer, without it being About that.
