It's summer before eighth grade, and Erica "Chia" Montenegro is feeling so many things that she needs a mood ring to keep track of her emotions. She's happy when she hangs out with her best friends, the Robins. She's jealous that her genius little sister skipped two grades. And she's passionate about the crushes on her Boyfriend Wish list. And when Erica's mom is diagnosed with breast cancer, she feels worried and doesn't know what she can do to help.

When her family visits a cuarto de milagros, a miracle room in a famous church, Erica decides to make a promesa to God in exchange for her mom's health. As her mom gets sicker, Erica quickly learns that juggling family, friends, school, and fulfilling a promesa is stressful, but with a little bit of hope and a lot of love, she just might be able to figure it out.

Confetti Girl author Diana Lopez returns with this sweet, funny, and utterly honest story about being a girl in a world full of good (and bad) surprises.

Praise for Ask My Mood Ring How I Feel:

A VOYA Top Shelf for Middle School Readers Pick

2nd Place Winner of the 2014 NACCS Tejas Award for Young Adult Fiction

A Bank Street College Children's Book Committee Best Book of 2014 Selection



"A funny and heartfelt story...Balancing the heavy subject matter with generous doses of humor and an authentic young teen voice, López crafts a story that blends family and middle school drama successfully."
―Kirkus Reviews

"López (Choke) skillfully balances emotional moments with humorous ones, offering an honest portrait of a family under strain. Chia's clever, cheeky voice and a strong cast contribute to an inspiring story about developing "a special kind of bravery."―Publishers Weekly

"The many characters in Chia's life are individually and lovingly drawn...Readers will feel like Chia's family and friends could do anything as long as they stick together-and they may be right."―Booklist

"Chia's voice shines...A fast-moving, absorbing read about how one person's illness can affect the whole family in many different ways."
―School Library Journal

"An honest, sometimes uncomfortable, but always hopeful look at how cancer affects family....Erika's story is full of the healing power of love." ―Guadalupe Garcia McCall, author of Summer of the Mariposas and Pura Belpre Award winner Under the Mesquite Tree

"[This is a] story of struggle, of surviving, and what is oftentimes a difficult healing, but a healing nevertheless. My own promesa after reading Lopez's wonderful novel: to run alongside my wife and hundreds of thousands of others on that day of the Race for the Cure from here henceforth."

An excellent book for a preteen/teenage girl. The idea behind it is that she's feeling so many emotions that she needs a mood ring to keep track of all of them. She experiences everything from happiness, to jealousy and even her mom being diagnosed with cancer. She makes a promise to God in exchange for her moms help and this book is a story of her journey to make sense of everything and make it through. Cute story, my child loved it!

Ask My Mood Ring How I Feel is a great book. This book is very inspiring. And it proves you don't have to be the biggest and strongest person to get the job done and that the scariest things can come along bit with God's help and a lot if work you can get the job done. Also it shows that nothing is impossible. For instance when Erica (aka Chia) was doubting she could get 500 and she did😊. Plus it shows your true friends

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book for young girls!
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2024
Checked out this book from my library because I love learning about girlhood. As a Latina I was looking very forward to reading this story since the main character is also latina. The cover about her mood ring and explanation of how confusing her life felt spoke to me immediately. Upon reading it I adored the story. I loved Chia’s friend group and the end actually made me cry! My first book to ever make me cry. This is very relatable for young women in general and in many ways for Latin girls. I especially enjoyed how mental health informed this book is. I highly recommend! 💖

This book brought me back to my days in Jr. High School with my friends.
All we did was talk about boys. I could relate to the main
character in the book. Nicely done.
