The awesome girls seem to include a princess, as well as a blonde-haired girl who apparently floats in mid-air while in a horizontal position.
Let's find out about the first awesome girl, whose name is:
Ooh! Exciting! Madeleine is putting her Spanish skills to work in this book, even though she complains weekly about how boring Spanish class is.
Here's a look at El Princessa Theodora's palace:

Look at this c-
astle! It has not just a main tower, but a secondary tower, AND a thirdary tower, AND a bunch of rooms! Plus a moat with a crocogater in it! But I'm wondering, why is El Princessa Theodora's room not labeled a fourthdary tower? Because it doesn't have a triangle top, does it not qualify as a tower?
According to what Madeleine has written at the start of her book, El Princessa Theodora lives in New Mexico in the Middle Ages. I'm not sure why she speaks Spanish then, as in the Middle Ages it would only have been indigenous peoples living in what is now New Mexico. And I doubt the Pueblos peoples, who inhabited the land at that time, spoke anything resembling current day Spanish. Also, El Princessa Theodora was born in Hawaii, which makes her not Pueblo by blood, but indigenous Hawaiian. Don't think they spoke Spanish either, but I'll suspend my disbelief for now. After all, this book also has a crocogater and a horizontally floating awesome girl. Can't wait to read more!
