American Schoolgirl Explores Mexico A Memoir

Enjoyed by young elementary school students who study Mexico and its geography, history and people. Fun to read.

This memoir is an unusual story about a young ten-year-old girl on a three-month family road tour through Mexico. The young girl knew little about Mexico.

By her mother's instruction, she kept a detailed journal of all the wonders of the trip. Would she discover anything new and exciting? The journey was eye-opening. She wrote candidly about the family's adventures - from being stranded in a remote mountain region, to getting lost in enormous Mexico City, to attending summer school in Guadalajara and living with a Mexican family with 3 boys. She couldn't believe how Mexico was so different yet so close to home.
