Description

One Day at a Time meets Mindy Kim in this second book in a charming new chapter book series about Catalina Castaneda, a Mexican American girl with a magical sewing kit who tries to befriend the new girl at school. Catalina is excited to find out a new student, Esmeralda, has joined her third-grade class at Valle Grande Elementary School. But despite Catalina's attempts to introduce herself, Esme won't talk to anyone but her own cousin, Jazmin. Could Jazmin be keeping Esme from making new friends? According to Catalina's frenemy Pablo, it's just like what happened to the secret princess in the telenovela hit The Hidden Crown! With Tia Abuela's magical sewing kit, Catalina sets out to create a disguise to unravel the mystery.
