I read this book by local author Diana Lopez a few months ago, but it has been so popular, I have not had a chance to get it back so I can write a quick summary. It may not be needed at this point, but just in case you have not heard me talking about this book, please read on.......
One of the reasons this book has been so much in demand is because Ms. Lopez refers to so many familiar places in Corpus Christi. I enjoyed reading about Lina's trip to Snoopy's, one of my favorite local restaurants. As well as the location, students can easily relate to Lina's situation and the humor with which she addresses her predicaments. Her friendships and secret crush are humorous and realistic. You can even learn how to make cascarones, at the beginning of the book. Several students got to meet the delightful author when she came back to CC to discuss her book. I am glad I was there too. She presented in the polka dot socks that made the cover of her book! Her web site is on our OPAC page for you to visit. Mrs. Rogers' classes posed in their funny socks. I hope they make it on her web site!
