The Chismosas Only Book Club / Laekan Zea Kemp ; illustrated by Heidi Moreno.

Kemp, Laekan Zea, (author.). Moreno, Heidi, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"Cat, Sofia, Ana, and Mari are best friends. Nothing, nada, can break their bond. When Cat's mom scolds them for their loud cackling at the bookstore, calling them a bunch of chismosas, the name sticks. Cat creates the The Chismosas Only Book Club, giving the girls a way to stay connected as they begin high school. But ninth grade is hard, and it seems like no amount of conchas y libros y risas at Milagro's Books, founded generations ago by Cat's great-great-great-grandmother, can repair the ever-growing cracks in their friendship. But maybe the spirit of Milagro herself can...Brimming with whimsy and heart, and woven with black-and-white graphic novel chapters, this enchanting book celebrates the magic of friendship, the embrace of ancestors, and the power of stories to hold us together." -- Provided by publisher.
Told in multiple voices, four Latine friends in Nuevas Rosas, N.M., come together at a seemingly magical bookstore and form a bookclub as they embark on their first year of high school.
