    About this ebook

    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.

      Meet Lola!

      Lola smiling and holding her school backpack

      ¡Hola, I’m Lola! I live in Texas with my family—Mama, Dad, and my baby sister, Mariana. The rest of my family, including my grandparents, live in Guatemala. That’s where my parents are from. I know lots of interesting facts about the country!

      Facts About Guatemala

      Guatemala is in Central America. It is about the size of the state of Tennessee.

      Guatemala has more than 30 volcanoes, but only three are active—that means they erupt sometimes. The others are asleep.

      There are more than 22 Mayan languages, but the official language in Guatemala is Spanish.

      Facts About Me

      I’m learning Spanish.

      I love history. I want to be an archaeologist when I grow up.

      I adore my family.

      I don’t like change.

      I hate Mondays and onions, not to mention waking up early. Yuck!
