Lola Reyes Is So Not Worried by Cindy L. Rodriguez
5.0
This is a fun and relatable middle grade story that deals with grief, friendship, and communication, incorporating magical realism and humor.
Lola is so caught up in her own worries that she doesn't always see that others are struggling too, and throughout the story she learns to communicate and help others overcome their challenges. She has to navigate her jealousy over evolving friendships and learn how to be a friend to someone she always considered her nemesis.
Lola's story reminded me so much of my own childhood when I lost my grandma at ten years old. I remember seeing my mom struggling and feeling just like Lola did. I'm sure other older readers as well as middle schoolers will enjoy this book as much as I did.

I received a review copy of this book from the author.
