Lowriders to the Center of the Earth

Description

Lowriders to the Center of the Earth by Cathy Camper, illustrated by Raúl the Third, revs up the beloved Lowriders series with a myth‑meets‑mechanics quest. When a loved one goes missing, Lupe, Flapjack, and Elirio dive underground—through tunnels, legends, and laughs—on an adventure where friendship and ingenuity keep the wheels turning.

With rapid‑fire panels, Spanish‑English wordplay, and pen‑and‑ink art that crackles with energy, this middle‑grade graphic novel celebrates community, creativity, and corazón.
