Miss Quinces

Sue is a young girl who is looking forward to spending her summer at sleepaway camp, reading, and making comics with her friends. However, her plans are derailed when she has to go with her family to Honduras to visit relatives. Living in a remote area means no texting, no cable, and no Internet, making the trip even less appealing to Sue. The situation worsens when her mother announces a surprise quinceañera for Sue, something she dreads. As Sue navigates the expectations of family and cultural tradition, she faces the challenge of finding her own path and embracing her heritage. This debut middle-grade graphic novel by Kat Fajardo is a funny and heartfelt coming-of-age story that explores themes of family, cultural expectations, and self-discovery.
