From an NYT bestselling author comes the first in an illustrated
middle grade series about a Panamanian American girl who uses humor
and a little mischief to navigate her best friend moving away and
her sister’s overbearing and all-consuming quince preparations.
Flora Violeta LeFevre, aka Flora "la Fresca" (so called because she
tells it like it is, occasionally to her parents' chagrin) can
always count on her best friend Clara Ocampo Londra to turn
anything-from a day at the skate park to dreaded Saturday Spanish
school into an exciting adventure. But amidst Flora's personal
nightmare that is her sister Maylin's never-ending dress try-ons
and dance practices for her upcoming quinceañera, news breaks that
Clara's moving, and Flora doesn't know how she'll survive without
her. The girls quickly roll up their sleeves and use their
larger-than-life imaginations to make the most of each passing day
together. But things get complicated when Clara moves and starts
making new friends, an unlikely alliance blossoms between Flora and
a new student, and preparations for Maylin's quince take a
disastrous (but hilarious) turn.
