A magical sewing kit could help win a skateboarding competition. Who will triumph?
Catalina Castaneda dreams of winning a skateboard at the Valle Grande Games. Her sister Coco, once fearless, has lost her confidence without her lucky flannel. With a magical sewing kit in hand, Catalina considers entering the competition herself. Can she alter her fate and become the skating star she longs to be? As the sisters face off, the stakes are high, and the magic might just tip the balance. Will Catalina's creativity and courage lead her to victory, or will Coco reclaim her mojo in time?
One Day at a Time meets Mindy Kim in this fourth book in the charming chapter book series about Catalina Castaneda, a Mexican American girl with a magical sewing kit who wants to win a skateboarding competition. The Valle Grande Games skateboarding competition is coming up, and the winner gets a brand-new board. That means, if Coco wins, Catalina might finally get a skateboard of her own–Coco’s old one. The trouble is, normally fearless Coco has lost her skateboarding mojo at the worst possible time. Cat discovers that Coco has outgrown her lucky flannel, and without it, she’s lost her confidence. This could be Catalina’s big chance. She can enter the competition herself. If she wears the lucky flannel–and uses the magic sewing kit to make some special alterations–the judges might see a skating star and award her the new board. Which sister will come out on top?
