“The adventure Charlie and Lupe embark on is a timely and courageous one as it addresses the migration crisis on the border and the imprisonment of children.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A breathtaking story that inspires us with the help of a chupacabra and a little girl to care for those who have sacrificed everything!” — Raúl the Third, author/illustrator and winner of the Pura Belpré Award
“Author, parent, and appreciator of great art: I LOVE this book. Fantastically imaginative, poignant, and artful, this is a story that resonates beyond the adventure of Chupacabra Charlie. It’s about us Latinxs, our struggles, and our dreams—and the will within us to achieve them. A must for our children, us adults, and all our libraries.” —Daniel Chacón, author of Kafka in a Skirt and Hotel Juárez
