Juana & Lucas / Medina, Juana

"Juana loves many things ??? drawing, eating Brussels sprouts, living in Bogot??, Colombia, and especially her dog, Lucas, the best amigo ever. She does not love wearing her itchy school uniform, solving math problems, or going to dance class. And she especially does not love learning the English. Why is it so important to learn a language that makes so little sense? But when Juana???s abuelos tell her about a special trip they are planning???one that Juana will need to speak English to go on???Juana begins to wonder whether learning the English might be a good use of her time after all"--Amazon.com.

"Juana's life is just about perfect. She lives in the beautiful city of Bogota with her two most favorite people in the world: her mami and her dog, Lucas. Lately, though, things have become a little less perfect. Mami has a new hairdo and a new amigo named Luis with whom she has been spending a LOT of time. He is kind and teaches Juana about things like photography and jazz music, but sometimes Juana can't help wishing things would go back to the way they were before. When Mami announces that she and Luis are getting married and that they will all be moving to a new casa, Juana is quite distraught. Lucky for her, though, some things will never change -- like how much Mami loves her"--Amazon.com.
