Tria Itzel, Addie Vega, and Livi Belen are besties, who have known each other forever. Tria's 6th Grade Year T1 is the first diary in the Wavy-Haired Girls Series. As the girls face adolescence rushing at them: getting smarter, growing taller (well not all of them do), and challenging beliefs, they learn that these rapid changes of adolescence sometimes have to be faced alone. The Wavy-Haired Girls is a coming-of-age series based on the author's own adolescence. Real San Antonio, Texas, street names and schools from decades ago are used to bridge the past with the present through the eyes of three modern-day Catholic/Hispanic girls who are learning to tiptoe, leap, and stumble through new adventures. They each share in their diaries and journals deep secrets and hilarious moments they think no one will ever read. However, because of a snarky comment made by a boy, their lives are forever changed. On top of all this wonderfulness in Tria's life, she has unruly red hair, stinky brothers, 6th grade problems, a pesky bully, and one diary to sort it all out. Fans of Are You there God? It's Me Margaret. and Dork Diaries can connect with the Wavy-Haired Girls.
