Tumble
Tumble follows twelve-year-old Adela “Addie” Ramírez as she navigates identity, love, and family bonds. A coming-of-age novel from the esteemed author of The First Rule of Punk, it invites middle-grade readers ages 10–14 who crave heartfelt, adventurous tales about belonging, difficult choices, and discovering who they are. The emotional tone is hopeful, comforting, and lightly adventurous.
In the story, Addie confronts a watershed moment when her stepfather suggests adoption and a new half-sibling is on the way, all while a school theater performance looms. The discovery of a photograph tucked away among her mother’s things sends her on a journey that takes her from home to a ranch in New Mexico. There, she meets the Bravos family—Rosie and Pancho, former professional wrestlers, and their lively twin cousins Eva and Maggie—whose world is steeped in lucha libre and strong family ties. This title invites readers to see that belonging isn’t just about blood; it’s about the people who show up for you when life gets loud.
Tumble blends vivid setting, wrestling lore, and intimate moments into a narrative that’s both immersive and hopeful. The book’s pace balances heart-to-heart scenes with exciting, community-centered adventures, making learning about lineage, culture, and resilience feel natural and engaging. If you love stories about courage, self-discovery, and the enduring power of chosen family, this tale will resonate with you long after the last page.
After finishing Tumble, readers will feel a deeper sense of belonging and a belief in the power of family to sustain and transform us. They’ll come away with empathy for others, a firmer sense of self, and the confidence to face life’s twists—with courage, compassion, and hope.
