Description

Mia is adjusting to her new family dynamics with her mom, remarried to Eddie, and a new stepbrother, Dan. As she navigates life between her dad's house on weekends and her new home, she faces a challenge in Spanish class. Despite being fluent in speaking Spanish, writing it proves difficult and she struggles under her strict teacher, Mrs. Alvarez. Hesitant to share her academic troubles, Mia eventually opens up to her parents and stepfather, who all come together to support her. Mia learns the value of having three supportive parents rather than two.
