But as the celebration begins, Chato realizes he forgot the most crucial detail: inviting Novio Boy! Will Chato's oversight ruin the party, or can he save the day? Dive into this vibrant tale filled with cultural flair and unexpected twists.

But when it comes time for the party, he realizes that he forgot the most important thing of all-Novio Boy! With a lively text featuring Spanish words throughout, and bright, bold artwork, this sequel to Chato’s Kitchen is truly a cause for celebration
