WHO’S JU?
Middle-grade fiction
…an excellent, fully developed heroine. A diverse mystery novel that goes deeper than the typical whodunit to examine issues of identity and family. - Patrick Tierney, School Library Journal

Justina ‘Ju’ Feliciano and her fellow seventh-grade sleuths are on the case! A sneaky vandal has damaged scenery from the middle school drama club production and the newbie detectives must catch the culprit before opening night. But Ju faces a completely different kind of mystery when a genetics assignment forces her to investigate the cold hard fact that her frizzy blonde hair and amber eyes don’t match the shades of brown that run in her family.

"Ramos has created an excellent, fully developed heroine. Fans of Nancy Drew or "39 Clues" (Scholastic) who are looking for something new will enjoy this multilayered tale. A diverse mystery novel that goes deeper than the typical whodunit to examine issues of identity and family." - School Library Journal (Patrick Tierney)

“A solid entry into tween realistic fiction.” - VOYA (Laura Lehner)

"Dania Ramos has written a fun, humorous, lighthearted caper that subtly and brilliantly explores the importance of cultural identity." - Linda Nieves-Powell, author of Yo Soy Latina!

"At a time when the publishing world is in desperate need for more diversity in children's literature, Ramos has introduced Justina, who is not only full of cultural pride, but is also universally relatable as she struggles with issues all kids face: Who am I and where do I fit in?" - Crystal Velasquez, author of the Hunters of Chaos series

"Ju is a terrific personality with a large, inquisitive mind and an even bigger heart. Girls of all ages will remember her long after the last page is turned." - Cecilia Galante, author of The Patron Saint of Butterflies
