I reread a bunch of Junie B Jones this week. They used to be my favorite from 1st to 3rd grade and I needed something to get me out of a reading slump so I thought why not. This one has to be my favorite out of all the ones I read so far. It had me laughing the whole time. I love how Barbara can express Junie B’s personality through the writing style and dialogue. Junie is like the messy character you’re always rooting for. I love the whole plot with the grapes and her cookies. Definitely see why I used to love these.

I don’t usually write book reviews but this one was SO good that I had to!! I don’t even know where to start. Okay first off, as a Mexican American lesbian myself, I felt so seen and represented in this book. I laughed and cried throughout the pages. The book was written beautifully and reminded me of when I came out to my Mexican American family, both the good and the bad. I really wish my younger self could’ve read this book.
