I wasn't sure about the art style in this book at first, but it really lent a very mesoamerican folklore element that I only recognized as the story went on. It's a funny and heartfelt story about family and bravery. I loved how Pablo broke the fourth wall sometimes.

I received an ARC of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Aguirre's Chronicles of Claudette have been really popular at my library. I'm so excited to see new, similar work from him. I expect this series to be a smashing success with middle grade readers. I was delighted with the story line, introductions to social issues and illustrations. All three main characters represent minorities, and the mythology is South American so this would be a great book to add a a diverse collection.

Lupe is a complete beast. I loved her.
