![]() ![]() ![]() I've been trying to dive into more middle grade books that have queer representation and this is one that recently came on my radar. And keeping Alexa's secret makes Dalia realize one of her own: She might have more-than-friend feelings for Rani. But what starts out as a week of funnel cakes and Lazy River rides goes off the rails when Dalia discovers that Alexa's girlfriend is joining the trip. Luckily Dalia comes up with a new plan: If she joins Alexa on her trip and brings Rani, the new girl from her swim team, along maybe she can have the perfect summer after all. With Dalia's future stepsister Alexa heading back to college soon, the grown-ups want the girls to spend the last weeks of summer bonding-meaning Alexa has to cancel the amusement park road trip she's been planning for months. ![]() But when her dad suddenly announces that he's engaged, Dalia's schemes come to a screeching halt. Would-be amusement park aficionado Dalia only has two items on her summer bucket list: (1) finally ride a roller coaster and (2) figure out how to make a new best friend. In this unabashedly queer middle grade debut, a week-long amusement park road trip becomes a true roller coaster of emotion when Dalia realizes she has more-than-friend feelings for her new bestie. ![]()
