Enjoy carnival rides and deep fried pickles in this warm, funny middle grade novel about family and friendship.

Miranda is the lead singer in her family’s musical band, Miranda y Los Reyes. Her family has worked hard performing at festivals and quinceañeras. Now, they have a shot at the main stage. How will Miranda make it a performance to remember?

Flor’s family runs the petting zoo at Mr. Barsetti’s carnival. When she accidentally overhears Mr. Barsetti and Miranda’s dad talk about cutting the zoo to accommodate Miranda y Los Reyes’s main stage salary, she knows she has to take action. Will she have the heart for sabotage once she and Miranda actually start to become friends?

CRASH tells the story of the Great Depression, from the sweeping fallout of the market collapse to the more personal stories of those caught up in the aftermath. Here author Marc Favreau sits with Victoria Stapleton to talk writing non-fiction for young readers.

"Much like Steve Sheinkin did in 'Bomb,' Favreau writes in a clear and relatable way...this story is far from a slow-moving history book. For readers who think of themselves as history buffs as well as those who just love a thought-provoking story, Crash will deliver on all levels." — VOYA (starred review)

"Favreau gives readers incisive, penetrating, at times heartbreaking prose. A dynamic read deserving of a wide audience." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"An enlightening and very readable book on a complex historical period." —Booklist (starred review)
