Reviews
"Sure to be a smash." --Kirkus Reviews
"In comic-book fashion, the bold portrayal of each match includes dialogue bubbles and sound effects printed in decorative fonts (whunk, bloop, krunch)." --School Library Journal "Kids with multicultural classmates will recognize (or learn) Niño's many Spanish exclamations. A closing note explains the lucha libre culture." --Booklist
