Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero

5.0

---

As a hispanic girl named Gabriella, I don't think I've ever read any book with a main character that is hispanic or named Gabriella. (High School Musical DOES NOT count). I wish I had read this book in middle school, because it touches on SO MANY important themes (family issues, friend issues, body issues, teen pregnancy, abuse, etc). Gabi's coming-of-age story is special and full of ups and downs, something I'm sure plenty of pre-teens and teens could relate to. Such a nice reflection of a girl learning and becoming better in so many difficult situations.
