Beschreibung

Judy Moody meets the Diary of a Future President remake in this heartwarming chapter book series featuring a young Cuban American girl who finds adventure based on the classics she read with her beloved abuela—the first four books are now together in a collectible paperback boxed set! All Dominguita wants to do is read. Especially the books in Spanish that Abuela gave to her just before she moved away. They were classics that Abuela and Dominguita read together, classics her abuela brought with her all the way from Cuba when she was a young girl. It helps Dominguita feel like Abuela’s still there with her. With those books as inspiration, Dominguita becomes a knight errant like Don Quixote, hunts for buried treasure like a pirate on Treasure Island, saves a quinceañera with two friends as her musketeers, and channels Sherlock Holmes to find a missing goat! With a team of new friends, can Dominguita learn how to be the hero of her own story? This adventurous paperback boxed set includes: Knight of the Cape Captain Dom’s Treasure All for One Sherlock Dom

Autor

On September 11, 1961, Terry Catasús Jennings landed in the United States after a short flight from Cuba. On September 12th, she was enrolled in seventh grade in an American school. Her family, including her father who had been jailed during the Bay of Pigs invasion, was now in a free country. The only catch for twelve-year-old Terry was that she could count in English and recite the days of the week and the months of the year, but not much more. Often being the only Cuban in her school—even through college—Terry knows what it’s like to be the new kid on the block. She is delighted to have the opportunity, with Definitely Dominguita, to portray a child of immigrants who is normal—no different than her peers—other than she loves the classics (like Jennings did as a child) and thinks Cuban food rules.
