In this compilation of three separately published books, Sofia Martinez, her sisters, and her cousins cope with the everyday problems of a happy Hispanic American family.

Sofia's family does not want to hear her singing anymore, so she must find the appropiate place to use her new superstar-sing box machine.

When a storm causes a neighborhood blackout, Sofia and her father come up with a plan for the perfect family night without electricity.

Sofia's Abuela is taking her and Sophia's cousin Hector to the movies, but when Hector develops hiccups, their movie plans are put on hold until the children get their hiccup problem under control.

Sofia is making a family time capsule, filled with pictures and mementos from their lives, to be opened in fifteen years, and Abuela contributes letters to each of her grandchildren--but Sofia is so consumed with curiosity that she decides to sneak a peak at what her letter says.
