    About this series

    Dominguita can’t wait to go on a mini-vacation with her friend Steph! They are visiting Steph’s river cabin, where they hope they will get to have another adventure—even though Dom is a little nervous about the wildlife (like spiders and mice)!

    As soon as they arrive, they find out that a neighbor has lost their beloved goat, Esther! Dom and Steph are determined to solve the mystery and use the methods of Dom’s favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, to bring Esther back home. But
    after following the hoofprints, they realize that Esther might have had some help in her great escape. Can Dom and Steph figure out what—or who—led Esther away?

    Terry Catasús Jennings

    On September 11, 1961, Terry Catasús Jennings landed in the United States after a short flight from Cuba. On September 12th, she was enrolled in seventh grade in an American school. Her family, including her father who had been jailed during the Bay of Pigs invasion, was now in a free country. The only catch for twelve-year-old Terry was that she could count in English and recite the days of the week and the months of the year, but not much more. Often being the only Cuban in her school—even through college—Terry knows what it’s like to be the new kid on the block. She is delighted to have the opportunity, with Definitely Dominguita, to portray a child of immigrants who is normal—no different than her peers—other than she loves the classics (like Jennings did as a child) and thinks Cuban food rules.

      In Praise of Bossy Big Sisters

      Mar 3, 2017

      Like many young girls, I fell in love with the Little House series when I was about seven years old. What followed was two or three years of obsession; I read the books repeatedly, developed a fondness for long dresses, and regularly wore my hair in two braids. My grandma even made me two sunbonnets that I insisted on wearing everywhere in the summer, despite Laura Ingalls Wilder’s own hatred of them. But unlike a lot of young girls, I didn’t identify with the main character: the headstrong, outspoken Laura. Instead, I was more enamored of Laura’s big sister Mary. In many ways, Mary and Laura
