About the Book
Sixth-grader Selena Estrella Herrera's family moves to El Paso to help care for her grandfather, and she tries to reinvent herself by claiming her identity as *Strella--but the project her team chooses is about the singer Selena after whom *Strella is actually named.Book Synopsis
Sixth grade is hard enough, but Mexican American Selena Estrella Herrera has to do it in a new town. Her family has moved to El Paso to help care for her grandfather (who seems not to want them there and insists on speaking only Spanish). One upside to being at a new school, though, is that she can finally leave behind her embarrassing obsession with musical megastar Selena--whom her parents named her after even though she can't sing. She renames herself *Strella, avoids her grouchy grandfather, and tries to move on with her life. Then *Strella starts a National History Day project. The topic her team chooses? Selena. Can *Strella embrace her Tejano heritage and her old love of Selena and still become her own person? And will she ever discover what her own gifts are? In diary format, the Nuestras Voces series profiles inspiring characters from yesterday and today, and honors the joys, challenges, and outcomes of Latino experiences.Additional product information and recommendations
