I stared out the window of Boston's Logan airport at the jets lined up like toy planes on a game board and jiggled my foot up and down. To tell the truth I was a little bored, which really wasn't my usual style, particularly since I was about to leave on an adventure.

I glanced over at my sister, Elena Maria, who was deep in important teenage conversation with her chatty best friends, Jill and Lauren. It was pretty obvious that I wasn't going to be invited to join their talk fest.

How I wished I could chill with the BSG. What an adventure we could have on my aunt and uncle's ranch in Texas. Instead, because it was my sister's superfabulous birthday entitled "My Amazing, Incredible Quinceañera," starring Elena Maria Martinez, she got to bring her friends.

In our Mexican culture, honoring a girl when she turns fifteen is an important tradition that might even go back all the way to the time of Aztecs. That celebration is called a quinceañera, and it's basically a beautiful ceremony followed by a huge, awesome, rockin' party. I love quinceañeras…usually. But my sister was taking hers to a whole new level of crazy. All she could talk about was dresses, tiaras, shoes … and her amazing party.

Oh no! Elena has turned into Quince-zilla, and her younger sister Isabel feels completely invisible. Find out what happens when a thunderstorm, some ancient art, and armadillos get mixed into a giant birthday party in Isabel's Texas Two-Step!
