![]() ![]() Merci lives in one of three identical pink houses on the same street. ![]() To make matters worse, Merci is the only girl to be paired with a boy for Sunshine Buddies, and Edna Santos, the most popular girl in school, won’t let her hear the end of it. Merci is worried that being a buddy will cut into her time for after-school soccer practice. On the first day of school, Merci finds out that her service assignment is with the Sunshine Buddies - a program that pairs new students with buddies for the first half of the school year. Part of their scholarship agreement requires Merci and Roli to complete service hours each school year. She and her older brother, Roli, are scholarship students, so they don’t always fit in with the other kids, who live in big houses and go on long expensive vacations. Merci Suarez is starting sixth grade and her second year at a private school called Seaward Pines. ![]()
