What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Lola attempts to avoid a Day of the Dead disaster in another adventure celebrating her Guatemalan heritage! Lola is excited for Halloween, but Mama is sad to be missing the holiday she loved in Guatemala–the Day of the Dead. Then Lola’s family is invited to a Day of the Dead party! But when Lola discovers that a Guatemalan dish called Fiambre is on the menu, she panics. She doesn’t like her foods to touch, and she really doesn’t like beets or sardines! With Abuelita’s help, can Lola find the courage to share in the celebration and try something new? Readers will delight in meeting Lola, her family, and friends in this charming chapter book from the Hola Lola series, focused on family, heritage, and cultural exploration.
