What a fun book! Memo is excited about a card game he loves, and a tournament for it coming up. He comes up with a plan to go that includes his abuela, LaLa, but it's a bit tricky, as she doesn't speak much English and he doesn't speak much Spanish. Great themes of family, friendship, kindness, fitting in, being yourself, and more. Give it a read!
