Description
Juvenile Fictio Juvenile Literatur HTML: Winner of the 2019 Newbery Medal Thoughtful, strong-willed sixth-grader Merci Suarez navigates difficult changes with friends, family, and everyone in between in a resonant new novel from Meg Medina. Merci Suarez knew that sixth grade would be different, but she had no idea just how different. For starters, Merci has never been like the other kids at her private school in Florida, because she and her older brother, Roli, are scholarship students. They don't have a big house or a fancy boat, and they have to do extra community service to make up 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 aren't going well at home, either: Merci's grandfather and most trusted ally, Lolo, has been acting strangely lately �?? forgetting important things, falling from his bike, and getting angry over nothing. No one in her family will tell Merci what's going on, so she's left to her own worries, while also feeling all on her own at school. In a coming-of-age tale full of humor and wisdom, award-winning author Meg Medina gets to the heart of the confusion and constant change that defines middle school �?? and the steadfast connection that defines fami… (more)

Entering sixth grade is tricky enough on its own for Merci Suarez, yet she is dealing with other difficult issues, too. Edna Santos, rich and privileged, is snooty to Merci given the fact the Merci and her brother Roli are at their private school tuition free. Edna's jealousy is compounded when
However, the biggest change in the Suarez family is Lolo's rapid decline into Alzheimer Disease. At first, Merci doesn't realize what is happening to her grandfather as he falls off his bike, is mean to her grandmother, and forgets who she is occasionally, but it all comes to a head and Merci finds out that her family has been keeping this secret from her. Secrets are a no-no is the Suarez family, yet they all decided it was best to keep Merci in the dark.
When Merci finds out about the deception, she is furious. After all, what is family if they don't confide and lean on each other in trying times. Eventually, Merci comes to terms with all of it and even finds some good friends at the school. In this coming-of-age story, Merci learns that life isn't all happiness and sunshine 24/7 and she has to navigate some rough spots along with the joy.
Merci Suarez Changes Gears is a realistic portrayal of family dynamics, school bullies, and growing up...yet, it is a story that has been told many times. Some young readers will definitely see themselves in the pages and may find a way to hope. The one bright spot, for me, was near-genius Roli who couldn't manage to park the car or drive over 20 miles per hour. His storyline was a hoot.

Her grandfather is acting strange, forgetting things and losing he temper for no reason, and no one in the family is talking about it.This book very sensitively handles the difficulties associated with Alzheimer's.

With a deft hand, author Meg Medina brings us into Merci’s world. Starting her second year at a private school, Mercy struggles to navigate a world of privilege and expectations at odds with her personality. Normally, she would confide in her beloved grandfather, Lolo, about her struggles. But
The magic of this book is how Medina takes small events, an assignment at school, a new person in class, riding a bike, a holiday – and builds them into a narrative that wonderfully explores growing up.
Medina creates real people, complex, unique, flawed, and complete. Her handling of Lolo and his illness was superb, and in particular, Merci’s anger and reaction nearly made me cry. Merci, brave and stumbling and unsure, is a wonderful character. Watching her discover the truth about herself encouraged me.
I highly recommend this book for any young reader. But in particular, for children facing losing a grandparent to Alzheimer’s, this book would be particularly helpful.

This story follows Merci as she starts 6th grade as the girl on a scholarship to an expensive private school. She lives next door to her extended family and is very close with her grandparents. Aside from dealing with mean girl drama, Merci is also starting to realize that her grandfather Lolo is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. What follows is a poignant and humorous story about Merci coming to terms with changes in her family, changes with her friends and the changes that enviable happen as you grow up. What moved me the most to love Merci was her relationship with her family. Coming from a childhood living in a similar situation to Merci, with my grandparents living upstairs from me, I hurt for her as she realized her grandfather (who is her hero) was getting sick, just as I experienced my grandfather (who was my hero) decline in health after a stroke. I’ve already purchased this for the school library where I work and will be recommending it often.

Not necessarily a criticism, I found the use of Spanish words woven into the story a bit frustrating at times since I did not know the translation.

really understand what is going on due to the family's decision to keep her in the dark. It's a coming-of-age tale which may appeal to middle school readers at the moment but probably lacks an enduring quality. Additional editing would shorten and make the story stronger. The author includes some common Spanish words in the story which are not translated for the reader. I suspect many middle school readers, particularly in Southern and Southwestern States with many Mexican and Central American immigrants, will not need a Spanish dictionary nearby, but I anticipate it might create problems for those with little exposure to the Spanish language. The book probably works best for middle schoolers with family members suffering from dementia. I received an advance e-galley in exchange for an honest review through the publisher via NetGalley.

For Merci it is to have her favorite activity canceled because she needs to take more responsibilities, coming to terms with unavoidable changes that make life challenging, and learning to deal others, but most importantly deal with her own thoughts.I found the familia believable and realistic.
