As if being new to the United States wasn't hard enough, Isabella's first day of school is canceled due to snow! Isabella has recently arrived from Colombia with her mother and abuela. She misses Papa, who is still in South America.

Then Isabella meets Katie and finds out that making friends in the cold is easier than she thought!
