Praise for Lucía the Luchadora and the Million Masks:

“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.” -KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW)

Praise for Lucía the Luchadora:

“This is a story of empowerment and doing the right thing – a reminder for all ages. Lucia, in her luchadora mask and cape, jumps with confidence on her playground, and right into your heart.” -NPR’s BEST BOOKS OF 2017

“A shining debut outing for author and illustrator, this endearing and humorous title is sure to put a bit of KA-POW into storytimes! A must-have.” -SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL (STARRED REVIEW)

“Garza shines in her children’s debut. The text bursts with infectious energy and Lucía’s endearing personality. A madcap pace keeps the story moving along with humor, heart, and bravado in equal measures. Likewise, Bermudez’s colorful, buoyant illustrations radiate pure joy. Nifty text placement, variations in type color, and use of sound effects add to this delightful package, making it a joy for readers to root for this plucky young girl. A KA-POW kind of wonderful.” -KIRKUS REVIEWS (STARRED REVIEW)

Funny, exciting, and truly beautiful, this book is good for what ails you. -ELIZABETH BIRD, SLJ’s ‘A Fuse 8 Production’ Blog
