Description
Eleven-year-old Maximilian, a big fan of the form of wrestling known as lucha libre, begins to suspect that he has a close connection with his favorite luchador, El Angel de La Guardia, the Guardian Angel.
Description
In the summer just before sixth grade, Maximilian tumbles over the railing at a lucha libre match in San Antonio and makes a connection to the world of Mexican wrestling that will ultimately link him--maybe by blood!--to the greatest hero of all time: the Guardian Angel. What was shaping up to be one boring summer before sixth grade now seems like a story straight out of Max's beloved lucha libre movies: grudge matches, fantastic villains and a massive surprise ending! --,From back cover.
