Miata Ramirez has made a terrible mistake: she left her mother’s special folklórico skirt on the school bus. The skirt is not just part of a dance costume. It belonged to her mother when she was a child in Mexico, and Miata is supposed to wear it for a performance on Sunday. Now it is Friday, time is running out, and Miata does not want her parents to find out she has lost something important again. With her best friend Ana beside her, she has to think fast, be brave, and find a way to get the skirt back. The Skirt is a warm, suspenseful chapter book about family, friendship, responsibility, and cultural pride, with a heroine whose worries and determination feel wonderfully real.
