Miss Quinces

In this warm and vibrant graphic novel from Scholastic, Kat Fajardo introduces readers to a young girl who would rather spend her summer at art camp than on a family trip to Honduras. But when she gets swept up in the preparations for a traditional quinceañera—one she never asked for—she must navigate the clash between her own creative dreams and her family's expectations. Fajardo's lively, expressive artwork brings to life a heartfelt story about identity, tradition, and the messy, beautiful bonds of family. This debut marks a fresh and culturally rich voice in middle-grade comics.
