Summary:
Manuela Mani Semilla wants two things: to get her period, and to thwart her mom's plan of taking her to Guatemala. Mani can't imagine leaving behind Las Nerdas, her band of misfit friends, for the summer. But after she finds letters written between her mother and her disappeared-journalist aunt, Mani's idea of what it means to be a woman takes flight.
