Ámbar Dorado is excited about starting second grade, but she is a little nervous too. There is a new teacher this year. The old second grade teacher was really nice and used to smile at her in the hall. What if the new one isn't as nice? What if she doesn't like Ámbar? As she sets off with her new bear backpack, Ámbar decides she's ready for whatever happens. And second grade better be ready for Ámbar Dorado!
