Tonia Patagonia is orphaned and alone in the world. Her only legacy is a magical box that holds her family’s unique treasure. There’s just one problem: the box will not open.
To unlock it, she must find seven crystals hidden across South America. She is determined. She is Tonia Patagonia, after all. And she is never cold, hot, thirsty, hungry, sleepy… or scared.
She sets off on a wild adventure through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. From one scary surprise to the next, she learns that the real treasure is not gold or jewels but something far more powerful and nothing like she expected.
Woven with humor and heart, this story is perfect for beginner Spanish learners who want to explore South America, learn numbers, colors, and useful expressions, and discover what really makes us happy.
