Join the Club, Maggie Diaz is a lively, engaging debut about finding your place and passions when everyone else seems to be miles ahead in the game. Enriched by Maggie’s warm Cuban-American family, fun illustrations, Maggie’s hilarious commentary, and an undeniably relatable plot, this one will appeal to middle graders who love funny books. A fun, funny, and relatable MG debut!

The characters were decent, but they could have been even better with further development. Aside from a few minor issues, the atmosphere and writing were good. The plot was interesting and easy to follow, although feeling a little hectic at times.
