About This Book
It is Columbus Day weekend, and Sarah finds herself doing a report on Christopher Columbus and trying to learn Spanish with her friend Anna. The arrival of Luisa from Colombia brings some surprises for Sarah. Simple Spanish lessons are included.About the Authors or Illustrators
Patricia Reilly Giff began her life in Brooklyn, New York surrounded by books! As a child Giff would prefer to have her nose in a book imagining the life of each character rather than playing with the other children. Some of her favorite childhood reads included Little Women, The Secret Garden, and the Black Stallion books, the Sue Barton books, and the Nancy Drew series. So it's no surprise that she knew early on that she wanted to be a writer.
