Stef Soto is a perfect middle-grade heroine &#8211; determined to get out from under her overly-protective immigrant parents&#8217; thumbs, endlessly embarrassed by the family business (delightful Tia Perla, the taco truck), struggling to fit in at school &#8211; and full of love and support for her family and friends. This book is full of great friends, a fun goal, and an authentic portrayal of middle grade life. And tacos! A beautiful book that teachers and students are sure to love.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/8154981-patricia\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1590d6;\">For readers<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A kid you can totally relate to.<\/li>\n<li>Great friendships (and believable rivalries).<\/li>\n<li>Tacos!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #1590d6;\"><strong>For teachers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A bilingual protagonist<\/li>\n<li>A true-to-life financial problem that will make for a good discussion topic.<\/li>\n<li>Author-created <a href=\"https:\/\/jenntorres.com\/books\/stef\/activities-and-resources-stef-soto-taco-queen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Activities and Resources.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>STEF SOTO, TACO QUEEN is available now.
