Such a great idea. Such a refreshing update on The Breakfast Club. So many easy things to fix: the opening had me breaking out in hives. It was so tone deaf. I get it, that was the point, but yikes. The characters lacked real depth. I really thought we were going to get some at least with Jorge and Nico but Diaz Gonzalez just didn't really get there. She started getting us deeper into their stories, but they fizzled out. And the tone at the beginning of the book simply didn't match the tone at the end of the book. Small things, but readers, especially those from the target audience, deserved better. What I did like was the idea, as I said, and the space given to Spanish. Between that, the English, and the artwork the book is accessible to a variety of readers. I can and will always get behind books that broaden the audience, especially to marginalized groups. I would caution the extra words might make it harder for readers who struggle, but I think that is easily overcome. Oh and the artwork? Fantastic! Proud to have it on my shelf. Will recommend to students. Read more

The theme of stereotypes is supported by the characters all being Latino, but there are many more stereotypes at play too. Great read for any student, Latino or not. Ending wraps everything up nicely. Read more

I think the book sorta fail flat for me. The first 20 pages were subpar in my opinion. Doesn’t really start off well, doesn’t get any better really either. As an author myself I am always supportive of writes works and stories and not here to pass judgement on what’s good or not. My opinion is just that of someone who kept hearing how great this book was, and how kids can relate to it. But for me it never really got better. I almost put it down after the first 10 pages. To be honest had it not been for the amazing illustrations, I definitely would have. I give it a 3 for story, 5 for illustration, and 4 for being put together nice. Read more
