Avis
7th grader, Step Soto, wants to fit in, but with a father who has a taco truck and she’s got to help him, its hard. As an adult what I liked about this book for upper elementary aged readers, is that Step has to learn to cope with disappointment. Her parents are strict. She has to miss some of the cool activities because her folks don’t give her much freedom. But in the end she finds out how important family is.
Rating: 4Stef Soto loves her working-class family but sometimes wishes her father didn't pick her up at school in Tia Perla, the family's well-worn food truck. Life would be easier for her if the family didn't have the truck anymore. But when proposed city regulations threaten the livelihoods of all food truck operators, Stef comes to see how important the truck is to her family and the importance of speaking out in support. This is a charming and lively story, and kids will identify with Stef and her real-world, regular-kid problem-solving,
