A note for parents

This Pura Belpré Award–winning graphic novel combines action-adventure with Aztec mythology in an age-appropriate package. The story celebrates friendship, loyalty, and cultural heritage through the journey of three lowrider-owning friends who rescue their cat from the Aztec underworld. While there are some mildly scary supernatural elements and a few action sequences, the tone remains lighthearted and the content fits squarely within the middle-grade range.
