Overview

Rising star Kat Fajardo’s debut middle-grade graphic novel about a girl who would rather do anything other than celebrate her quinceanera!

Sue solo quiere pasar el verano leyendo y haciendo comics en el campamento con sus amigos, pero en lugar de eso se embarca con sus padres y sus dos hermanas en un viaje a Honduras a visitar a la familia, que vive en medio del campo, asi que no podra mandar mensajes y no tendra cable ni internet! Las cosas empeoran cuando la mama de Sue anuncia que le haran una quinceanera sorpresa a la chica, aunque esto es lo ultimo que ella desearia. No se imagina vistiendo un vestido enorme, abultado y colorido! Que podra hacer? Como sobrevivira todo este tiempo con sus revoltosos familiares?

Sue just wants to spend the summer reading and making comics at sleepaway camp with her friends, but instead she gets stuck going to Honduras to visit relatives with her parents and two sisters. They live way out in the country, which means no texting, no cable, and no Internet! The trip takes a turn for the worse when Sue’s mother announces that they’ll be having a surprise quinceanera for Sue, which is the last thing she wants. She can’t imagine wearing a big, floofy, colorful dress! What is Sue going to do? And how will she survive all this “quality” time with her rambunctious family?
