When Lucía's sister Gemma tears her luchadora mask, their grandmother repairs it and takes the girls to the mercado to buy a mask for Gemma. Lucía's voice is bold and confident, wavering briefly when her stitched-up mask is then misplaced. Action-filled illustrations with a mix of bright and muted colors reflect the high and low emotions of the day in this energetic sequel to Lucía the Luchadora.

The boys on the playground claim that girls can't be superheroes, making Lucía mad. Her abuela gives her a luchadora costume, which emboldens Lucía. Hidden behind the mask, she soars through the playground better than all the other children; after rescuing a puppy, Lucía reveals her identity. Energetic watercolors illuminate a diverse crowd of children led by a strong, dynamic personality who's unabashedly proud to be a girl.
