Lupe Vargas and Her Super Best Friend (Lupe Vargas y su Super Mejor Amiga) follows Maritza Garcia and Lupe Vargas through a week's adventures and a disagreement between the friends.

Lupe and Maritza are best friends. They spend exciting days as pirates, private detectives, famous scientists, heroes saving the town from extraterrestrial invasion, and magicians inventing magic potions.

The girls seem to continually disrupt Mrs. Ramirez peace and quiet until they quarrel over the magic potions. Then there is plenty of quiet because the girls aren't speaking to each other. Will Lupe and Maritza settle their differences? Will Mrs. Ramirez be able to enjoy the peace and quiet she desires? You know the drill--read Lupe Vargas and Her Super Best Friend for the answers. It's a special read as it's written in English and Spanish.

Armchair Interviews says: Children will enjoy the bright, colorful illustrations as well as the adventures of Lupe and Maritza.
