Apolonia "Lina" Flores is a sock enthusiast, a volleyball player, a science lover, and a girl who's just looking for answers. Even though her house is crammed full of books (her dad's a bibliophile), she's having trouble figuring out some very big questions, like why her dad seems to care about books more than her, why her best friend's divorced mom is obsessed with making cascarones (hollowed eggshells filled with colorful confetti), and, most of all, why her mom died last year. Like colors in cascarones, Lina's life is a rainbow of people, interests, and unexpected changes.
In her first novel for young readers, Diana López creates a clever and honest story about a young

I hate this book with a passion. The main character is weak and poorly written, and all of her friends are complete jerks. I could not finish it. I did not like the plot nor the character, very predictable, and just frustrating and boring to get through! One of the worst books I read tbh, sorry but I could just not get into it!
It wasn't so bad and I think it was somewhat interesting but it really is not my thing. I like books like the Hunger Games and Harry Potter books(fantasy and some science fiction) I also like modt realistic fiction but not always the super girly books
LOVELOVELOVE!
so far so good
Love this book! So fun I am having a blast reading it ! I am thinking about doing a report on it! I would recommend it to many kids and Many adults!
This book is amazing. My teacher reccomended it and I couldn't put it down
i love this book it is so fun
I think the book Confetti Girl was very good. It's all about a girl named Lina and her best friend named Vanessa, it's just about their lives. (School, at home, every where.) As it says on the back of the book, "A book unread is a life unlived."
i havent read the whole thing yet but i own it :)
