Juana and Lucas

Juana and Lucas

<b>“Refreshingly original. . . . Medina’s beautiful, vivid prose conjures the Colombian setting with tactile language. . . . The story itself is a giant hug.” — <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br><br>Fans of Judy Moody and Clarice Bean will love Juana, the spunky young Colombian girl who stars in this playful, abundantly illustrated series. Juana loves many things: drawing, living in Bogotá, Colombia, and especially her dog, Lucas, the best <i>amigo</i> ever. She does <i>not</i> love wearing her itchy school uniform, solving math problems, or learning the English. Why is it so important to learn a language that makes so little sense? Hilarious, energetic, and utterly relatable, Juana will win over <i>los corazones </i>(the hearts)<i> </i>of readers everywhere.
