La Catrina (educational program)

La Catrina is an educational book written for Rinehart and Winston Inc. for its level III Spanish programs by David Curland. It follows the voyage of Jamie Gonzalez, a Latina high schooler, into her roots in Queretaro, Mexico. The book spawned a sequel, La Catrina: El Ultimo Secreto for Rinehart and Winston's Spanish level IV program. The story is about her having a dead, but rich great-grandmother and her possessions. Now they belong to Jamie and her family, but the main villian, Don Silvestre Aguilar, tries to keep Jamie's inheritance (which he stole).

Now, if you wanted some real information:
La Catrina is an educational Spanish-Soap, it focuses on Jaime Gonzales (a female from Los Angeles, California) who spends the summer in Queretaro, Mexico. Upon arrival she suprises Carlos and the Navarro Family who expected a boy (as in Mexico Jaime is pronounced HAY-ME, rather than JAY-ME). After some consideration the Navarros decide that it would be scandalous to keep Jaime at thier house, so Jaime is sent to the Linares house, where Carlos's friend, ex-girlfriend, Maria lives.
