Description
When new friends Lupe, Flapjack, and Elirio are each bullied by Las Matamoscas, they know they're going to like one another. When they find out they all love lowrider cars, they know they'll be friends for life. But the bullies won't leave the Lowriders alone—and they don't let any girls or babies into car clubs. Can these three determined outcasts prove they deserve to be in the car show? Humor, Spanish words, and lowrider culture come together in this heartwarming graphic novel of three friends navigating the bumpy terrain of friendship, bullying, and standing up for what you believe in. ¡Vámonos!

      • content:

        The over-the-top lowriders Lupe, Elirio, and Flapjack are back with their gato, Genie. This nostalgic journey back in time chronicles, in parallel stories, the moment the lives of the then escuincles--pipsqueaks--first intersected. They join together to help Lupe's two mothers enter a car show, but Mamá Impala and Mamá Gazelle need the approval of the hosting car club. The bullies controlling the entire show, Los Matamoscas, make up arbitrary rules to keep the women out because everyone knows car clubs are for los machos. Lupe's moms' car must clear speed bumps without scraping, they must keep a 5-gallon jar of agua fresca from spilling while taking an entire lap, and any visible brush strokes on the paint job are grounds for disqualification. All is saved by Elirio's pointy proboscis, Lupe's quick thinking, and Flapjack's slurping capacity. Raúl the Third's signature style again frenetically populates the sepia pages with eye-catching detail that highlights lowrider humor and culture. Camper's story, however, trips, snags, and hitches on too many densely worded moments of exposition. These asides, such as the recognition of Indigenous words in modern languages and the contributions of the art collective Asco, would have been more appropriately placed in the backmatter (where they are discussed again anyway) rather than in the middle of the narrative. Also, some scenes are unnecessarily drawn out, as in the case of the opening five and a half pages of gratuitous flatulence. Despite the meandering storyline, fans of the two previous slapstick adventures will eagerly welcome back Lupe and the gang's Spanish-infused exploits. (glossary, author's notes, sources) (Graphic adventure. 9-14)

        November 15, 2018
        Grades 3-6 Elirio, El Chavo, and Lupe have flown to space and ventured to the underworld in their ingenious lowrider, but how did they first meet? This installment in Camper and Ra�l the Third's effervescent, street art-�inspired series reveals the fortuitous occasion of the car show at which they first put their skills to the test. A boorish car club, Los Matamoscas, merciless teases Elirio, El Chavo, and Lupe, but when they underhandedly try to keep Lupe's moms from entering the car show ( Car clubs are for men. Sorry chicas ), it's the last straw. Fans of the first two series installments will be delighted to find the same upbeat tone and adventurous plots, and Ra�l the Third's artwork is at its best: exaggerated perspectives make cars and words pop off the page, the grotesque bullies' appearances match their foul behavior, and Elirio's bold, beautifully designed murals pay homage to the muralists who inspired Ra�l the Third. Discussions of indigenous languages, a gentle dose of physics, and a compassionate message about bullying give this cartoonish adventure some meaningful depth, too.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)

        Elirio, a mosquito with artistic talent, and his friends, an impala and an octopus, share a love of lowrider cars and have mutual bullies--members of a car club known as Los Matamoscas. Spanish words (and their translations) are sprinkled throughout this humorous graphic novel about lowrider culture, friendship, and standing up for oneself. Razl the Third's distinctive pen drawings burst with energy and visual gags. Bib., glos.
