Frizzy
Marlene loves three things: books, her cool Tía Ruby and hanging out with her best friend Camila. But according to her mother, Paola, the only thing she needs to focus on is school and "growing up." That means straightening her hair every weekend so she could have "presentable", "good hair." But Marlene hates being in the salon and doesn't understand why her curls are not considered pretty by those around her.
The Girl and the Robot
Mimi Perez fixes things. Phones, tablets, speakers, printers. She gets it from her dad — helping him at the family e-repair shop was always one of Mimi’s favorite things to do. But ever since Papi was deported, there’s a lot more than electronics that need fixing in Mimi’s world. Things too big for any twelve-year-old to handle on her own. Then a mysterious robot crashing to earth. From space. Mimi does what any street-smart electronics repair person would do: she takes the robot home, fixes her up, and in the process, makes herself a friend.
