À propos de cet e-book
Judy Moody meets the Diary of a Future President remake in this fourth story in a chapter book series featuring a young Cuban American girl who tries to find adventure based on the classic stories she read with her beloved abuela.
Dom is excited to join her friend, Steph, for a mini vacation. They are going to visit Steph’s grandmother in Virginia, where Dom hopes they can continue to have a lot of fun adventures. As soon as they arrive, they find that Gran’s neighbors have lost their goat! There are some mysterious footprints near the goat pen that lead to the marsh. Dom decides to use the methods of her favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes—observing the basics, using all her senses, and talking it through with her trusty friend—to try and bring the little goat back home.

À propos de l'auteur
On September 11, 1961, Terry Catasús Jennings landed in the United States after a short flight from Cuba. On September 12th, she was enrolled in seventh grade in an American school. Her family, including her father who had been jailed during the Bay of Pigs invasion, was now in a free country. The only catch for twelve-year-old Terry was that she could count in English and recite the days of the week and the months of the year, but not much more. Often being the only Cuban in her school—even through college—Terry knows what it’s like to be the new kid on the block. She is delighted to have the opportunity, with Definitely Dominguita, to portray a child of immigrants who is normal—no different than her peers—other than she loves the classics (like Jennings did as a child) and thinks Cuban food rules.
Mari Lobo was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. Being the youngest of three siblings and the only artist in a huge extended family lead her to be a very social person. She was always fond of drawing and painting, but her childhood was spent playing in the street and climbing trees more so than staying at home and drawing. By age fifteen she decided to be an artist, and after a quick detour—getting a degree in industrial design and working a couple years in the fashion industry—she moved to California and attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco where she got her master’s in visual development for animation. She now lives in the sunny Bay Area (with her awesome classical musician husband) where she goes to concerts, on hikes, and out to dinner with friends, but mostly sits in front of her computer and draws all day every day. Mari likes to draw for kids because she loved being a child herself.
