Juana and Lucas

Fans of Judy Moody and Clarice Bean will love Juana, the spunky young Colombian girl who stars in this playful new series.

Juana loves many things drawing, eating Brussels sprouts, living in Bogota, Colombia, and especially her dog, Lucas, the best amigo ever. She does "not" love wearing her itchy school uniform, solving math problems, or going to dance class. And she especially does not love learning the English. Why is it so important to learn a language that makes so little sense? But when Juana s "abuelos" tell her about a special trip they are planning one that Juana will need to speak English to go on Juana begins to wonder whether learning the English might be a good use of her time after all. Hilarious, energetic, and utterly relatable, Juana will win over "los corazones" the hearts of readers everywhere in her first adventure, presented by namesake Juana Medina.
