These traditional reads are brimming with spirited characters and positive values- but with a little extra excitement and bite, so hold on to your hats!

And one particular Latino family is the focus with their uncanny knack for finding humor, hope, and coloful personalities- even in unusual circumstances. Written at the lowest reading levels, the 50-page story structure is straightforward and moves the reader through the text quickly and efficiently.
