Judy Moody meets Netflix's One Day at a Time in this first book in a
new 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 become a noble knight?
All Dominguita wants to do is read. Especially the books in Spanish that
Abuela gave to her just before she moved away. They were classics that
Abuela and Dominguita read together, classics her abuela brought with
her all the way from Cuba when she was a young girl. It helps Dominguita
feel like Abuela's still there with her.
One of her favorites, Don Quixote, tells of a brave knight errant who
tries to do good deeds. Dominguita decides that she, too, will become a
knight and do good deeds around her community, creating a grand
adventure for her to share with her abuela. And when the class bully
tells Dominguita that girls can't be knights, Dom is determined to prove
him wrong. With a team of new friends, can Dominguita learn how to be
the hero of her own story?
