Publisher's Synopsis
One Day at a Time meets Mindy Kim in these first four books in the charming chapter book series about Catalina Castaneda, a Mexican American girl who uses her magical sewing kit to solve everyday problems--now together in one collectible paperback boxed set.
Catalina Castaneda is not persnickety, even though that's what her parents and sister, Coco, like to think. Catalina just likes things the way she likes them--perfect. That's why it's very hard to hide her disappointment when her glamorous Tía Abuela, a famous telenovela actress, gives her an old sewing kit for her eighth birthday. However, Catalina soon discovers the sewing kit isn't as boring as she thinks--it's magic, turning ordinary clothing into magical disguises. But, as Tía Abuela warned her, the magic is only as strong as her stiches, and Catalina doesn't always have the patience for practice... Catalina sews her way to finding stolen rhinestones, welcoming a new student, making her band pitch-perfect for the school talent show, and giving her sister a boost before a skateboarding competition. This magically creative paperback boxed set includes:Catalina Incognito
