Juana and Lucas

<b>&#147;Refreshingly original. . . . Medina&#146;s beautiful vivid prose conjures the Colombian setting with tactile language. . . . The story itself is a giant hug.&#148; &#151; <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 Bogot&#225; 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.
