Description

Lucía the Luchadora named one of the most Best Books of 2017 by NPR, Kirkus Reviews, Chicago Public Library and more! Lucía zips through the playground in her cape similar to the boys, but when they tell her “girls cannot be superheroes,” unexpectedly she doesn’t feel so mighty. That is when her beloved abuela reveals a dazzling secret: Lucía comes from a circle of relatives of luchadoras, the bold and valiant women of the Mexican lucha libre tradition. Cloaked in a flashy new disguise, Lucía returns as a recess sensation! But when she’s confronted with a case of injustice, Lucía will have to make a decision if she can stay true to the ways of the luchadora and fight for what is right, despite the fact that it means breaking the sacred rule of never revealing the identity in the back of her mask. A story about courage and cultural legacy, Lucía the Luchadora is full of pluck, daring, and heart.
