When Mckenna and her younger brother Cameron pack their sparkly swimsuits for a sunny family trip to Salou, Spain, everything seems bigger, brighter, and louder than at home. From the splashing inflatables of Costa Daurada to the giant water slides at PortAventura Caribe Aquatic Park and the glowing Magic Fountains of Barcelona, adventure is around every corner!
But when Mckenna tries to make friends, the language barrier leaves her feeling shy, uncertain, and a little lonely. With a helpful tip from her mom, Mckenna discovers the magical power of basic Spanish words like Hola!, Gracias!, and De nada!.
She soon learns that friendship doesn't require knowing every word-just a bit of courage, a kind heart, and a warm smile!
