Does the main character, Izzy, speak Spanish? I'm looking for great reads of recently published books that feature Spanish-speaking characters. (The books, though, should be written in English). Thanks!

Maria Hi Julia,
Izzy's mom speaks Spanish (it's her first language) but one of the "issues" of the story is that Izzy doesn't. Ironically, her little brother easily understands Spanish. The book is written in English with a smattering of Spanish words and phrases throughout.
Hope that's helpful!
