"Refreshingly original. . . . Medina's beautiful, vivid prose conjures
the Colombian setting with tactile language. . . . The story itself is a
giant hug." -- The New York Times Book Review
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 amigo ever. She does not 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
los corazones (the hearts) of readers everywhere.
