Mindy has wanted a dog ever since she can remember. She knows that a dog will be just the thing to cheer her dad up too. But Mindy quickly finds out that cute, cuddly little Theodore is a LOT more work than she thought. He doesn’t like to sit, he isn’t so sure of other dogs, and he breaks a lot of things. And Mindy is worried that Theodore won’t make fourlegged friends of his own. With some extra love (and some tasty treats!), Mindy is on a mission to help the newest member of the Kim family adjust to his new life. Will she succeed? Or will it turn into a furry fiasco?"

Then Miguel learns that he and his parents are moving to the U.S. mainland, which means leaving his beloved grandparents, home in Puerto Rico, and even Coquí behind. Life in New York City is overwhelming, with unfamiliar buildings, foods, and people. But when he and Mamá go exploring, they find a few familiar sights that remind them of home, and Miguel realizes there might be a way to keep a little bit of Puerto Rico with him--including the love he has for Coquí--wherever he goes."
