Maximilian & the Lucha Libre Club: A Bilingual Lucha Libre Thriller

(2) 4-6 Max's Lucha Libre Adventures series. In this third entry, twelve-year-old Max's luchador uncle invites Max to a big event in L.A., where ex-girlfriend Cecilia lives. But the equally beguiling Paloma invites Max to join the Lucha Libre club and watch the tournament. What this illustrated bilingual story may lack in literary distinction, it more than makes up for in child appeal, with tween romance, wish fulfillment, and adventure.
