The summer becomes extra busy as he learns to balance new band practice with his old crew, Los Bobbys, and being Joanna Padilla's boyfriend. They call her \"fregona\" because she's tough, always sticking up for her family and keeping the school bully in check. But Güero sees her softness. Together they cook dollar-store spaghetti and hold hands in the orange grove, learning more about themselves and each other than they could have imagined. But when they start eighth grade, Joanna faces a tragedy that requires Güero to reconsider what it means to show up for someone you love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHonoring multiple poetic traditions, \u003ci\u003eThey Call Her Fregona\u003c\/i\u003e is a bittersweet first-love story in verse and the highly anticipated follow-up to \u003ci\u003eThey Call Me Güero\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Bowles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593462572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593462577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kokila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2022 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"David Bowles","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992770248959,"sku":"9780593462577","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c1bf46c-5e3c-47bc-82d8-d72ff9a47f71.jpg?v=1683320697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/they-call-her-fregona-david-bowles-9780593462577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
