Estefania ""Stef"" Soto, sólo quiere ser una tķpica chica de séptimo grado. Quiere tener amigos, ser aceptada, y tener un poco de independencia de sus sobreprotectores padres inmigrantes. Stef sabe muy bien que no puede tomar el autobśs para ir a la escuela, porque sus padres lo consideran demasiado peligroso. Su papi insiste en recogerla cada dķa en su viejo camión de tacos llamado Tia Perla. Todos los dķas le pregunta, «æAprendiste algo?» y luego buscan un lugar para estacionar el camión y su padre trabaja mientras Stef hace sus tareas escolares.
En el fondo, Stef estį orgullosa de sus padres y sabe que estįn trabajando arduamente para proveerle, pero a la vez también resiente la facilidad con la que algunos de sus compańeros de clases, especialmente Julia, consigue cosas como tickets para el concierto de Vivian Vega. Incluso si ella pudiera conseguir el dinero para los tickets, estį segura que sus padres nunca la dejarķan ir.
Esta historia destaca un narrador familiar, amigos leales, y padres responsables que trabajan duro y luchan por salir adelante. Una novela tierna y encantadora acerca de la familia, los amigos, y de cómo es posible encontrar tu voz incluso envuelta en una tortilla de taco.
