Description

Three lowrider-loving friends ride to the center of the earth to rescue their cat from an Aztec god in this graphic novel fantasy adventure.

Lupe Impala, El Chabo Flapjack, and Elirio Malaria are living the dream—they are the proud owners of their very own garage. But when their beloved cat, Genie, goes missing, they must embark on a wild road trip through a mysterious corn maze, into the center of the earth, and down to the realm of Mictlantecuhtli. Mic’s the Aztec god of the Underworld, but even worse: he’s a catnapper! Now it’s three clever compadres against one angry, all-powerful god. How will the Lowriders ever save their cat—or themselves?

Praise for Lowriders to the Center of the Earth

2017 Pura Belpré Illustrator Award Winner 

“Raúl the Third’s drawings will dazzle you. Cathy Camper’s writing will have you on the edge of your seat. This book is the complete package—drama, humor, pathos, joy, rice, beans! So refreshing to see el espíritu mexicano come to life in such a fun, well-paced romp to the center of the earth!” —Mimi Pond, author of Over Easy and winner of the PEN Center USA Award for Graphic Literature Outstanding Body of Work 

“The Lowriders in Space saga continues with an even crazier ride than the first. . . . Satisfyingly over-the-top mayhem for all “low and slow” fans.” —Kirkus Reviews
