When the first Lucía the Luchadora book got a Starred Review from Kirkus last year (and then made their Best Books of 2017 list), I was overjoyed. Now the sequel, Lucía the Luchadora and the Million Masks (out October 9, 2018) has gotten a STAR of its own. I’m thrilled to know that this little book is holding its own. Here’s an excerpt of the review:
Sisterhood leads to an adventure befitting a luchadora in Garza and Bermudez’s sublime sequel to Lucía the Luchadora (2017).
Similar to its predecessor, this follow-up pops and snaps with jubilant glee. Garza’s buoyant wordplay and delightful characters also continue to shine. Equally, Bermudez’s vibrant, action-packed pictures epitomize pure zany fun.
Transcendent joy personified in a pair of rip-roaring luchadoras. (Picture book. 3-7)
Wowzies, I hope fans of the first book and new ones enjoy!
