The first in the Mexico series of Pack-n-Go Girls travel adventure books, Mystery of the Thief in the Night, takes girls to the beautiful country of Mexico. If you’ve read “What to Know Before You Go” in the back of the book, you already know a little about Mexico. Here are a few more interesting photos Izzy captured on her recent trip to Barra de Navidad. And scroll down for more interesting information about Mexico!

Izzy’s Tour of Mexico

  • Here we are at anchor in the Barra de Navidad lagoon. isn’t it amazing?

  • The plaza is always a busy place in every village.

  • The school kids lining up for lunch. See the shades for the playground? They remind me of our sails on the boat.

  • This is the breakfast and lunch menu for Patti’s school. There are 18 pesos to the U.S. dollar, so this can be expensive. A lot of moms bring lunch to their kids at the lunch break.

  • I love this beach restaurant, but I have to admit that we always bring bug spray because the sand gnats love it too.

  • Here’s the abarrotes where we buy our fruits and vegetables. Everything is fresh!

  • This is my favorite moment from sailing. We were anchored in Tenacatita Bay, and three dolphins played under our boat for almost an hour. Cool, isn’t it?

  • How can you beat the sunset from Patti’s family restaurant?

  • Katie Kitty enjoyed a warm spot in a coffee shop. I got some yummy hot chocolate, and Katie Kitty had a dish of milk.

  • I love walking the beach at Barra.

  • I got to go visit Patti's school one day. It was so fun!

  • I loved meeting Patti's friends.

What People Are Saying About Pack-n-Go Girls Mexico Adventures

  • The book is fast paced and full of adventure, with very age-appropriate subject matters. I love how the author gives us the point of view of a child who is afraid of change, and what she does to learn and interact with a new culture and environment. The characters are fun and distinctive, the illustrations that accompany the book are a great way to peek into Lizzy and Patti’s world. Mexico’s description is full of color, flavors and pretty true to Mexican hospitality. My 8-year-old daughter read the entire book in two afternoons and have been asking for more books from the series.

    Mami Tales

  • The bottom line is Mystery of the Thief in the Night is an excellent book that is spot on for girls who are 6-9 years old. I’d even extend the age range a bit. My oldest daughter is actually 10 and she snatched up the book and read it before I even opened it.

    Mommy Maleta

  • Ms. Diller uses her story to share the culture and traditions of Mexico, interspersed with Spanish phrases and words, and to paint a very clear picture of what is takes to make new friends, to trust others and oneself, to be brave and to be honest. Her characters are multidimensional and they are bright, sensitive and true-to-life. This book is smart, well written and fun to read and I would recommend it to all children. It is a fun, thrilling adventure with great, strong female characters.

    Always Be Dancing

  • A spirited, engaging tale filled with intriguing nautical details and local color.
