ReviewsPraise for Canned and Crushed: "[A] never-a-dull-moment debut....fitted with an admirable, funny protagonist." -Kirkus Reviews "Belford compassionately reveals that there's far more to Sandro than just his misbehavior; his family's poverty and immigration worries lead Sandro to take on far more than an 11-year-old should. Sandro's breezy, conversational narrative, often directed at the reader, offsets the weight of his troubles in this eye-opening story that will likely resonate with a wide audience." -Booklist "Belford's debut contains complex characterization: Sandro is affable and witty, yet his quick temper and poor decision-making will ring true to young readers....readers are likely to stick with Sandro till the sweet, wobbly end." -School Library Journal "Holy guacamole! You've got to meet soccer star Sandro, whose brain is as quick as his feet-which is good because between chasing a turtle who's an escape artist, helping his dad collect roadkill, and conquering fourth grade, he's got to move fast. Luckily, Sandro's the kind of kid who puts the can in can-do and the fun in funny. You'll laugh out loud at Sandro's adventures, sympathize with his foul-ups, and cheer for his wins. Also, watch out: you'll never look at duct tape or fourth grade the same way again!" -Valerie Tripp, best-selling author of the American Girl series books "Sandro is the type of kid you rush to sit by in the cafeteria just so you can hear what he says or see what he does next. Canned and Crushed will charm you, as Sandro is a sweet-hearted, accident-prone mischief-maker you won't forget. The only thing bigger than the messes he finds himself in is his heart." -Beth Vrabel, author of Pack of Dorks and Blind Guide to Stinkville, Praise for Canned and Crushed "[A] never-a-dull-moment debut....fitted with an admirable, funny protagonist." --Kirkus Reviews "Belford compassionately reveals that there's far more to Sandro than just his misbehavior; his family's poverty and immigration worries lead Sandro to take on far more than an 11-year-old should.

Another D For DeeDee is an absolute treasure for readers of all ages. Told in fourth-grader DeeDee's honest, charming, and humorous voice, this story of dealing with differences, finding true friendship, and standing up for oneself will stay with readers for a long time. Parents, teachers, and kids will have a great time Discovering DeeDee's 'D' words and Discussing them in this Dee-lightful story." --Randall Platt, author of the award-winning The Girl Who Wouldn't Die " Another D for DeeDee is an engaging, heartfelt story about resilience and redemption. Lovable and impulsive DeeDee makes mistakes and, Land O Lakes, does she get herself into trouble! But Belford gives her what so many middle grade readers need to see--accountability and forgiveness." --Beth Vrabel, author of The Reckless Club Praise for Canned and Crushed : "[A] never-a-dull-moment debut....fitted with an admirable, funny protagonist." -- Kirkus Reviews "Belford compassionately reveals that there's far more to Sandro than just his misbehavior; his family's poverty and immigration worries lead Sandro to take on far more than an 11-year-old should.

SynopsisThis companion to the novel Booklist praised as an "eye-opening story that will likely resonate with a wide audience" introduces a new protagonist who's sure to capture your heart!, From the author of the highly praised Canned and Crushed comes a new story about friendship, the consequences of bad decisions, and embracing what makes you different!, Life for Dinora Diaz, DeeDee for short, is full of D's. Missing her dad, who's disappeared. Being diagnosed with diabetes. Feeling dumb in fourth grade at her new school, which she transferred into--leaving behind Sandro Zapote and all her other friends in Miss Hamilton's class--after her family's trailer burned down. It's so many D's that DeeDee's sure she'll never really fit in, much less find the perfect best friend she's always wanted. Then DeeDee meets River. He's a lot like her: River loves skateboarding, art, and dancing, just like she does, and he misses his dad, too. But they're also different: while DeeDee's still struggling to adjust to life with diabetes and has sworn off her Mexican heritage to get back at her dad for leaving, River seems to have totally adjusted to--even learned to love--being deaf. River promises to help search for DeeDee's dad and to compete with her in the spring skateboard exhibition at their local skate park. Finally, DeeDee has something to look forward to. But when River transfers into DeeDee's fourth grade class, DeeDee makes a huge mistake, putting not just the exhibition, but her entire friendship with River, on the line. Now she has to make a choice: stand up to her classmates and accept being an outsider, or give up her best friend for good? To keep the best friend she's always wanted, DeeDee will have to learn to love difference--not just River's, but also her own., From the author of the highly praised Canned and Crushed comes a new story about friendship, the consequences of bad decisions, and embracing what makes you different!

Then she meets River, her new neighbor with cochlear implants and finds they have the same interests. Art. Dance. Skateboarding. And they both miss their dads. But while DeeDee struggles to adjust to her new circumstances and life with diabetes, River embraces life, even his differences.
