Merci’s
family live in Miami. They have three houses next to each other.
She goes to an exclusive school in trade for her family’s labor in painting and
sewing. Her older brother is considered the smartest kid in school and
spends all his time in science labs. She has younger twin brothers whom
she loves, but hates to have to babysit. She likes to play soccer and
often plays on her father’s team. Merci’s grandfather, Lolo, is changing
due to Alzheimer’s. At school, she tries to fit-in with a group of girls
who tend to look down on her.
The book
centers around Merce’s feelings and her not wanting change to happen and
dealing with being a twelve-year-old.
