Her Muse Squad duology and The Curse on Spectacle Key are Florida-set adventures inspired by her love of history and the importance of friendship. No Way Never Sisters is her first coauthored book. When she’s not crafting stories, she’s inspiring young writers as a professor at the University of Miami! Natalia Sylvester writes books for children, teens, and adults. Her young adult novel, Breathe and Count Back from Ten, was named a Pura Belpré Honor book and Schneider Family Honor book by the American Library Association, and Running is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard book for teens.

This one is sure to resonate with any kid who's had a new member of the family break up the routines they know and love."" * Andrea Beatriz Arango, Newbery Honor winning author of <I>Iveliz Explains It All </I> * Weaving tried-and-true tropes with fresh scenarios and characterization, Acevedo and Sylvester deftly navigate the complicated aspects of family, chronic illness (Meli has scoliosis), changing relationships, and growing up, handling it all with heart and humor. Silly hijinks and earned moments of real emotional resonance round out this accessible middle-grade read. A sincere and appealing representation of the highs and lows of blending a family. * Kirkus Reviews *
