The Fresh New Face of Griselda by Jennifer Torres


Coming August 2019

Poor Griselda.  She is entering 6th grade, her family has lost their house and is living with her nana, her dad has had to take a job in LA (which is several hours away) and she is having to share a room with her sister.  Griselda's sister, Maribel, sells Alma makeup (think Mary Kay or Avon) and goes door to door trying to make a sale with Griselda in tow.  Once school starts Griselda (aka Geez, GZ) ends up selling Alma lipgloss and decides to try to sell 500 for a contest that could win her $5000.  She hopes to bring her dad home and they can get back to "normal" with her winning.  

Great story, character development and true problems for kids.  I give it a Bitmoji Image
