Tía Lola has been invited to teach Spanish at her niece and nephew’s elementary school. But Miguel wants nothing to do with the arrangement. On the other hand, Miguel’s little sister, Juanita, can’t wait to introduce her colorfully dressed aunt to all her friends at school—that is, if she can stop getting distracted long enough. Before long, Tía Lola is organizing a Spanish treasure hunt and a Carnaval fiesta at school. Will Miguel be willing to join the fun? Will Juanita get her head out of the clouds and lead her classmates to victory in the treasure hunt?

Critic reviews

“A welcome return for a wonderful character whose heart encompasses the whole world.”—School Library Journal

“Alvarez invites everybody—no matter their background—into this welcoming family and community.”—The Horn Book

Sought out the sequel for homeschool this year after enjoying the first one last year. My son enjoyed both books. I like the representation of a single parent family and how they are with bumps in the road making their new life work. We found ourselves rooting for them.

Great story of family and community
