Marisol (Gary Soto) - From the American Girl Today series. Marisol Luna is a lively 10-year-old girl who was born to dance. She's a fourth-grader who lives with her loving parents in a busy and largely Hispanic neighborhood in the heart of Chicago. Marisol goes to school (where she is a Two-Square champion) takes care of her cat, plays with the kids in her neighborhood, and takes dance lessons. Mexican folkdance is her favorite type of dance--and where she really shines--but she's been exposed to some jazz and a little tap. She's also taking ballet, but she's new to it and a little impatient with its rigors. Her attitude towards ballet changes only slightly when she meets a wonderful new neighbor. Miss Mendoza is a former Rockette who gently reminds Marisol that ballet is worth working hard at, because it's the basis for all serious dance. The upsetting news that her family is moving out to the suburbs is made worse when Marisol learns that the dance studio in her new neighborhood has closed. No tap. No ballet. No Mexican folkdance. She may have to take karate lessons! Instead, with the help of new friends, resourceful Marisol finds a way to keep dancing. Recommended for ages 7-11.

Marisol and Magdalena (Veronica Chambers) - Marisol and Magdalena are mejores amigas - best friends - who live in Brooklyn. They have grown up with their extended families, a group of colorful, eccentric relatives who are forever trying to reach the girls the ways of Panama, their native land. For Marisol, a Latinegra - a black and a Latina - child, life is especially challenging as she tries to balance several heritages. When Marisol's mother sends her to live in Panama with her abuela, the move puts Marisol's American values to the test, and also tests her friendship with Magdalena. But going to Panama also presents an opportunity for Marisol to search for her father, Lucho, a man she has never met. Recommended for ages 8-12.

Marisol and the Yellow Messenger (Emilie Smith-Ayala) - When Marisol is eight, her father is killed and she and her mother and little brothers have to flee the bright, warm world of Latin America and go to North America. Marisol feels confused and isolated in the northern, wintry place that is not yet home. Every day she thinks longingly of her dead father and the world she left behind. But one night Marisol has a special dream. She sees her mother's mother, weaving an endless cloth with every color of the world in it. They show her that her father is both with them and with her, in the wind and the stars. The next evening when a tiny yellow bird flies in out of the bitter cold, Marisol knows why it has come. Marisol's story explores the issues of loss, identity, and the resurgence of joy. Recommended for ages 5-8.

Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match / Marisol McDonald No Combina (Monica Brown) - Bilingual edition. My name is Marisol McDonald, and I don’t match. At least, that’s what everyone tells me. Marisol McDonald has flaming red hair and nut-brown skin. Polka dots and stripes are her favorite combination. She prefers peanut butter and jelly burritos in her lunch box. And don’t even think of asking her to choose one or the other activity at recess—she’ll just be a soccer playing pirate princess, thank you very much. To Marisol McDonald, these seemingly mismatched things make perfect sense together. Unfortunately, they don t always make sense to everyone else. Other people wrinkle their nose in confusion at Marisol—can t she just be one or the other? Try as she might, in a world where everyone tries to put this biracial, Peruvian-Scottish-American girl into a box, Marisol McDonald doesn’t match. And that s just fine with her. Recommended for ages 4-8.
