Bookroo's summary

Lola embarks on a journey to Guatemala with her Abuelita, eager to connect with her roots. However, her excitement fades as language barriers and cultural misunderstandings leave her feeling isolated. Her cousin Luis's cold reception only adds to her struggles. As homesickness looms, Lola must navigate these challenges to discover her true place in her family and heritage. Will she overcome her insecurities and embrace the adventure, or remain an outsider in her own story?

From the publisher

Next stop, Guatemala! Lola is excited to go to Guatemala with Abuelita for a few weeks to learn about her heritage and see her relatives. But when she arrives, things don’t go as planned. Lola’s Spanish isn’t as good as she thought, and she feels out of place. To make things worse, her cousin Luis thinks Lola is a snob. Will Lola find her place and enjoy her new adventures or be stuck feeling homesick?
