The Fresh New Face of Griselda - Hardcover

by Jennifer Torres (Author)

After one girl's parents lose their home, it would seem easy for her to lose hope, too--but in this inspiring story of family and friendship, just the opposite happens.
Griselda "Geez" Zaragoza has a love for beautiful things, like her collection of vintage teacups and the flower garden she and her dad planted in the front yard. But when his business goes bankrupt, Geez loses not just her house, but also her confidence and her trust in her unflappable parents.
