But amidst Flora's personal nightmare that is her sister Maylin's never-ending dress try-ons and dance practices for her upcoming quinceara, news breaks that Clara's moving, and Flora doesn't know how she'll survive without her. The girls quickly roll up their sleeves and use their larger-than-life imaginations to make the most of each passing day together. But things get complicated when Clara moves and starts making new friends, an unlikely alliance blossoms between Flora and a new student, and preparations for Maylin's quince take a disastrous (but hilarious) turn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronica Chambers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 052555629X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525556299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dial Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.34h x 5.30w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2023 pg. 80","brand":"Veronica Chambers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149603107071,"sku":"9780525556299","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_180b5f58-0268-46bf-aedd-17dea04d3398.jpg?v=1688457565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flora-la-fresca-the-veronica-chambers-9780525556299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
