Libro de Honor de los Premios Pura Belpré

Libro ganador del premio Junior Library Guild Gold Selection 2022

De la galardonada autora de
La primera regla del punk nos llega una asombrosa novela sobre una joven que reúne las piezas faltantes de su origen, la historia de una familia de luchadores legendarios a quienes nunca antes había conocido.

A los doce años, Adela “Addie” Ramírez tiene una importante decisión que tomar cuando su padrastro le propone adoptarla. Addie quiere mucho a Alex, es la única figura paterna que ha conocido, pero con un nuevo medio hermano a unos meses de nacer y una presentación escolar importante en mente, todo de pronto parece moverse demasiado rápido. Tiene un millón de preguntas, y la primera es sobre el hombre en una foto que encuentra escondida entre las cosas de su madre.

Las indagaciones de Addie la llevan hasta un rancho en Nuevo México y su mundo se expande para incluir a los legendarios Bravo: Rosie y Pancho, sus abuelos paternos y exluchadores profesionales; Eva y Maggie, sus primas mayores, gemelas idénticas a quienes les encanta luchar dentro y fuera del ring; el tío Mateo, cuyos consejos y creaciones de alta costura para luchadores no tienen igual, y Manny, su padre biológico, que se encuentra a punto de retomar su carrera. Como luchadores, el legado de los Bravo es fuerte, pero ser parte de una familia es mucho más difícil… se trata de estar ahí, de arrancarse las máscaras y sobrepasar los retos juntos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Pura Belpré Children's Author Honor Book

Winner of the Junior Library Guild Gold Selection Award 2022

From the award-winning author of
The First Rule of Punk, a dazzling novel about a young girl who collects the missing pieces of her origin story from the family of legendary luchadores she’s never met.

Twelve-year-old Adela “Addie” Ramirez has a big decision to make when her stepfather proposes adoption. Addie loves Alex, the only father figure she’s ever known, but with a new half brother due in a few months and a big school theater performance on her mind, everything suddenly feels like it’s moving too fast. She has a million questions, and the first is about the young man in the photo she found hidden away in her mother’s things.

Addie’s sleuthing takes her to a New Mexico ranch, and her world expands to include the legendary Bravos: Rosie and Pancho, her paternal grandparents and former professional wrestlers; Eva and Maggie, her older identical twin cousins who love to spar in and out of the ring; Uncle Mateo, whose lucha couture and advice are unmatched; and Manny, her biological father, who’s in the midst of a career comeback. As luchadores, the Bravos’s legacy is strong. But being part of a family is so much harder —it’s about showing up, taking off your mask, and working through challenges together.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
