In these spunky stories, popular young adult and children’s author Diane Gonzales Bertrand creates a raucous collection of rowdy fun in a bilingual format for intermediate readers. Ten-year-olds Miguel and Ángel get so excited about the family’s new truck that they take it for a spin. Luis rebels when his antiquated Tía Anita wants him to give his friend Diana a hairy pink thing and a box of powder that smells like cat litter. Norma dresses up like Queen Isabella and steals the spotlight from the class clowns. Alonso’s day sours when he lies to claim a blue-ribbon prize in the science fair.
