2015 Reader Views Literary Awards Winner for Young Adult Fiction When Brianna unearths a family secret, the life she's known unravels. She trusts no one except Dana, her best friend. But Dana will move away at the end of the summer, leaving Brianna to face her senior year friendless and alone. A last chance to bond with Dana lies in a summer trip abroad with the Spanish Club. Yet the promise of a once-unattainable first love, another painful secret, and Mexico-gripped in World Cup fever-threaten to rip the girls apart for good. As their lives hang in the balance, Brianna must find the strength and forgiveness to reconcile the friend she once was with the new person she desperately wants to be. An honest coming-of-age, "The Spanish Club" chronicles the universal struggle to define oneself within the boundaries of friendship and love-even when the ones you trust break the rules.
