"Traveling to Brazil to visit her brother is a dream come true for Lea. She's a little nervous, but armed with her travel journal and her grandma's compass necklace, she's determined to push past her fears and dive into adventure. She can't wait to see the beautiful beaches and photograph animals in the rainforest" (American Girl Character Encyclopedia 76).
