"Luc?a zips through the playground in her cape just like the boys, but when they tell her 'girls can't be superheroes,' suddenly she doesn't feel so mighty. That's when her beloved abuela reveals a dazzling secret: Luc?a comes from a family of luchadoras, the bold and valiant women of the Mexican lucha libre tradition. Cloaked in a flashy new disguise, Luc?a returns as a recess sensation! But when she's confronted with a case of injustice, Luc?a must decide if she can stay true to the ways of the luchadora and fight for what is right, even if it means breaking the sacred rule of never revealing the identity behind her mask."--Provided by publisher.

"Luc?a's little sister Gemma wants to be a luchadora like her, but she is more bumble and spat than pizzazz, and seems to find trouble wherever she goes. When Gemma makes a ginormous hole in her big sister's special silver mask, Luc?a is exasperated at how she seems to get away with everything. But a trip to the mercado with Abuela presents the sparring sisters with a dazzling array of possibilities, and Luc?a discovers that some things, including troublemaking little sisters, are one of a kind"--Back cover.

Donning a red cape, just like the boys wear, little Luc?a tackles the playground like a daredevil. However, the boys tell her girls can't be superheroes, and refuse to play with Luc?a. Feeling sad, Luc?a speaks with her grandmother, Abuela, who tells Luc?a a secret--she comes from a family of luchadoras, bold women from the Mexican lucha libre tradition! This time Luc?a dons a white cape and silver lucha mask, and sparks a luchadora sensation on the playground!.
