One girl, a magic box, and seven missing crystals.
Tonia Patagonia is orphaned and alone in the world. Her only legacy is a magical box that holds her family’s treasure, but it will not open. To unlock it, she must find seven crystals hidden across South America. Her journey takes her through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. Along the way she faces one challenge after another, until she discovers that the true treasure is not gold or jewels, but something far more powerful.
Tonia Patagonia is a heartwarming and funny story that also works as a powerful classroom tool for Spanish from day one. It can be read on its own or used as a complement to an existing curriculum. The text is built on the most common high-frequency words, introduced gradually chapter by chapter: the Super 7, all the tener expressions (frío, calor, hambre, sed, miedo, sueño), numbers, colours, and the geography of the Andes. With only 84 unique words, including 21 nouns (7 colours, 7 numbers, and 7 nouns used in the tener expressions), the book is very easy to read and highly accessible. Level 1 (novice-low) and above
