- Synopsis
- From the award-winning author of The First Rule of Punk and Strange Birds, 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&” Ramírez 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.
