A Bilingual Minnesota Adventure
“Welcome back, hijos. Did you run into Don Toño in virtual reality?”
“Yeah! He said we get to do a treasure hunt!”
On the last rainy day of vacation, a mysterious puzzle appears at the Martinez family's cabin. Rico, Diego, and Araceli quickly discover that it can turn them into animals through virtual reality! Even more exciting: It contains a treasure hunt through the Northwoods of Minnesota.
From the birthplace of the Mississippi River to the remote Boundary Waters, Minnesota's unique beauty and diverse wildlife carry many new experiences. The kids must work together to solve riddles and help the local animals… some of whom have their own complicated personalities.
As the siblings continue their hunt, they begin to understand that the biggest treasure may not be the physical reward at the end, but the lessons of kindness learned along the way. But… is it possible there’s an actual treasure as well?
Learning Spanish is fun in this colorful bilingual adventure!
