Acerca de esta escucha

This middle grade story has it all: humor, heart, and country music - including original songs!

Margarita McCoy plays banjo and sings backup in her stepsister Stephanie McCoy’s wildly popular country music band.

Margarita isn’t particularly passionate about music, but she loves Stephanie and would do anything to help her - and that includes being thrust into the media spotlight after an article in the New York Times calls out country music for its lack of diversity. Since Margarita’s father is Mexican American, the McCoys' record label wants to use her to show that they aren’t as whitewashed as the article says.

For Margarita, the media frenzy is overwhelming and quickly has her considering how exactly she should define herself and her identity. How Mexican American is she? How should she use her 15 minutes of fame? And how come no one ever taught her about Selena Quintanilla?

Margarita in the Spotlight is a fun and empowering story about identity, family, music, and the power of finding your voice - featuring original music that will delight your ears and get your toes tapping!

Overall, this was fun. But seriously, it was “too dangerous” for Margarita to go to a movie opening or continue in the band after negative comments appear about her in Social Media, but NOT too dangerous for her to be a speaker at a justice rally? I guess middle readers need to start getting their politics fed to them young! I get the point, but understand going in that there is some heavy-handed ness in this story.

Dangerous?

A debut that lives up to the hype! Maria Frazer spins a tale of identity, sisterhood, and country music like nothing you've heard before. Filled with laugh out loud moments and a fantastic original soundtrack, this is not one to be missed! Can't wait for Maria's next book!

Funny and heartfelt

MARGARITA IN THE SPOTLIGHT is such a great book. The writing was funny, engaging, and moving, with characters that felt entirely real. The narration was amazing too—not to mention the original music. Highly recommend!

Excellent!

The fact they use “LatinX” tells you no Latino was involved in the writing process. Ironic, cause this whole story is about white people exploiting the Latino community. Hey Audible, you want to be allies for the Latino community? How about adapting Latino stories BY Latino authors?

This was such a fun audiobook experience! I really enjoyed it and the original songs elevated the story so much. Margarita was very likable and the whole McCoy family had such a sweet dynamic. I wonder if the themes might be a little over a middle grade reader’s head, but as an adult I loved it. And I think any middle grader would still enjoy the listen even if they don’t get the nuances of identity that Margarita deals with.

Such a fun listen!

Songs? Yes, this audiobook has country songs, which are well written and the music is excellent. The music and singing performance almost outshines the story. The story is modern and has relavent themes of today's society. I enjoyed that the story wasn't overly preachy or heavy handed with political persuasion.

The ending did feel a little weak and without the awesome music this would be a 3.5 star book instead of 4.5 stars. I really appreciate that they had all the songs featured in the book as separate tracks at the end of the book. This book shines in the audiobook format.

Great songs and solid story
