Secure A Copy Knight Of The Cape Drafted By Terry Catasús Jennings In Paper Copy

thought this wasn't bad, but it was just okay, It felt repetitive for a large part of the story, This is the book for October for the book club I'm leading and It'll be interesting to see what the kids think,
A seriously fun start to a new chapter book series that kids will eat up about a spunky heroine who's determined to prove that girls can be knights too.
Taking her cues from favorite classics that her abuela shared with her like Don Quixote and King Arthur, she sets off on her own adventures and her town will never be the same! I like middle grade book about books.
This skewed a little younger than what I normally read, but I enjoyed Doninguita and her adventures, Plus, there was a dog, Maybe a little too cutesy and nerdy But a sweet read, I just with this series was easier to track down, DEFINITELY DOMINGUITA: KNIGHT OF THE CAPE is a sweet start to a chapter book series that is full of adventures, mishaps and lots of heart! Dominguita would rather read than play at recess, because reading makes her feel closer to her Abuela who had to move away but reading at recess makes Dom a target for the class bully, who tells her there is no way girls can be knights.
In order to prove him wrong, Dom takes a page from her Abuelas favorite book, Don Quixote and goes on a quest to do heroic deeds and prove her worth as a knight.
Along the way, Dom acquires a squire, a steed and something unexpected, friends, A sweet story perfect for all intrepid adventurers! Thanks to the Author, NetGalley amp Simon amp Schuster for the eARC,.stars. I really like the concept! I'm just not sure how many readers of this age have ever heard of Don Quixote, . . Its hard to resist a childrens book when its first line offers a main character who doesnt want to do anything other than read, DEFINITELY DOMINGUITA: KNIGHT OF THE CAPE is a sweet story about a girl named Dominguita Melendez, who embarks on a quest to prove to the town

bully that girls can be knights.
Armed with a pail for a helmet and a door for a shield, knight errant Dom Capote Dominguitas title finds a steed a dog named Roco and a squire a friend named Pancho, and sets off to rescue bunnies, defend other kids from bullies, and even tilt at some windmills.
Echoing the tale of Don Quijote, KNIGHT OF THE CAPE is such good fun, Young readers will look forward to Dominguitas next adventure, based on Treasure Island, Thanks to the author, to NetGalley, and to Simon amp Schuster for the eARC, A This was a super cute chapter book about friendship, family, and adventure, I look forward to recommending this series to kids looking for modern day adventures! Ive never read Don Quixote but I found this chapter book to be entertaining and sweet.
I wont hesitate to purchase it for my elementary library, Now that her abuela has moved away, all Dominguita wants to do is reread the adventure stories they used to read together, Each classic story: Don Quixote, Treasure Island, The Three Musketeers, inspires Doms real life adventures, bringing her together with a team of new friends and giving her great stories to share with her abuela.
What a great new book series!! I loved both of these books so much! Dom is such a refreshing character to see in a chapter book, Not only is she Cuban, which of course, I am here for my fellow Latinas, but shes also a great example of just being a kid, After her Abuela moves away, she remembers the times they had together by rereading the books she loves, Each Definitely Dominguita book focuses on a Classic, So not only do we get the story of an imaginative young girl, but the reader learns about Classic literature Bookandfeature adventures with Don Quixote and Treasure Island.


I wish I had a series like this growing up, It would have been so exciting to see someone who looked like me as an MC and maybe this would have sparked my joy of reading much earlier.
Im excited my nieces, nephews, and little cousins have this series to not only get them excited about reading, but also for the representation,

If you have a younger reader who likes Roald Dahl, Harriet the Spy, or Judy Moody, then definitely pick up Definitely Dominguita! There's a new chapter book series in town and it's all about a girl with a great big imagination.
Cuban American Dominguita Melendez loves to read even more than playing with the other kids in her class during recess, Lately, she's been reading Don Quijote, a book her grandmother loves, to feel closer to her abuela who has recently moved to Florida, But when the class bully, Ernie Bublassi, demands to know why she's reading it, she tells him she's studying to become a knight, Throwing the book into the playground dirt, he tells her girls can't be knights, making Dominguita all that much more determined to do exactly that and go questing for adventure.
. . and to help people in distress,

Dominguita turns to her older brother Rafi for help, Maybe he could write a book about her knightly deeds to send to their abuela Rafi agrees after finding out that one of the Bublassi bullies is behind Dominguita's idea he has had runins of his own with Ernie's older brothers.
The Bublassi's are the biggest bullies in otherwise quiet and friendly Mundytown,

Before long, Dominguita has acquired a lance, a helmet, some armor, and a cape and is transformed into Dom Capote, She also adds a squire named Pancho Sanchez and a trusty steed/stray dog named Rocinante or Roco for short, but will they find adventure on their quests besides rescuing stray bunnies from cats Yes, indeed.
Leave it to the Bublassi bullies to help Dom and Pancho find a new addition to their quests Stephanie, after one of the Bublassi takes her leg brace.
The three new friends roam around Mundytown and perform good deeds, but can they finally put an end to the Bublassi's bullying once and for all

This is a charming story about a young girl's adventures and how she finds new friends.
Dom had also hoped that asking Rafi to help her write her adventures who serve to bring them close together again, Ever since he began high school, Rafi has had not time for Dom and they used to have so much fun together,

I liked that both of Dominguita's parents and her brother Rafi are supportive of her adventures, though they encourage her to make new friends, too.
Mundytown is such a friendly place to live, Even when Dom can't pay for her lunch at Pancho's uncle's restaurant, he gives her a job to do to work off the cost instead of getting mad.
And the grocery store owner, Mr, Kowalski, is more than willing to go along with things and knight Dom with his heirloom sword,

This is the first book in a new series, and like all first books, much of this one is spent setting the premise for future books.
In fact, Book, Captain Dom's Treasure is already available watch this space and in August, Book, All for One, will also be available, These are sure to provide some good reading for younger elementary school kids looking for some fun books,

And just in case you are wondering, yes, Knight of the Cape does include a windmill,
