All for One

Description

Judy Moody meets the One Day at a Time remake in this third story in a chapter book series featuring a young Cuban American girl who tries to find adventure based on the classics she read with her beloved abuela-can Dominguita save a quinceanera? Dom, Pancho, Steph, and their noble steed, Rocco, are ready for their next adventure! When their beloved El Senor Fuentes asks Dom to run a very important errand-to put the order in at the local butcher shop for his daughter, Leni's, upcoming quinceanera-Dom is happy to help. But when Senor Fuentes discovers the order was never put in-and the food for the party has been sold to someone else-Dom takes a cue from The Three Musketeers to try and figure out what happened. With the help of Pancho and Steph, Dom discovers the dastardly Bublassi brothers have big plans to sabotage Leni's party. Keeping in mind the famous motto All for One and One for All, Mundytown's own Three Musketeers are determined to make sure Leni has a party she'll remember for all the right reasons!

On September 11, 1961, Terry Catasus 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. Born in the tiniest country of Central America, Fatima Anaya always wanted to craft stories celebrating the magic in the ordinary, but even before she could write, she started to illustrate every moment. This passion for drawing motivated her to achieve a BA in graphic design at Don Bosco University in El Salvador. Her inspiration comes from love, peace, childhood, and sometimes historical events.
