Status Updates From El dulce y alocado verano d...

The kids and I are listening to this one on the way to and from school. It's been entertaining enough. I chose it because Aby loves baking and wants to be a professional baker someday. Also, Elliott will be reading a Midsummer Night's Dream in ELA this semester, amd it seemed like a nice way to introduce the story.

Overall, we've been extremely annoyed with the main character's lack of critical thinking skills.

It is Midsummer's Eve, and it is celebrated in her community. A mystery - an unusual boy, strange women in a new bakery and interesting events take place that help this young girl find her place in her family and community.
