Marisol
Paperback
Book by Gary Soto
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, Rascal, plays with the kids in her neighborhood, and takes dance lessons.  Ballet folklorico (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 folklorico -- not even ballet!  So with the help of new friends, resourceful Marisol finds a way to keep dancing.  She learns how to combine the best of her old world with a renewed commitment to stretch and grow and try her hardest, no matter how challenging it might be.
