The first three books in the Latinx mythology-inspired Charlie
Hernández middle grade series are now together in a collectible
hardcover boxed set--perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and The Storm
Runner!
Thanks to his abuela's stories, Charlie Hernández possesses an almost
encyclopedic knowledge of the mythological monsters that haunt Latinx
folklore. And even though his grandmother sometimes hinted that the
tales might be more than mere myth, Charlie always assumed she was only
messing with him. That is, until he begins to experience some freaky
bodily manifestations--ones all too similar to those described by his
abuela in his favorite legend.
The next thing he knows, Charlie finds himself swept up in the middle of
a millennia-old war between La Liga, a secret society of legendary
mythological beings sworn to protect the Land of the Living, and La Mano
Peluda (a.k.a. the Hairy Hand), a cabal of evil sombras determined to
rule mankind. With the help of his lifelong crush, Violet Rey, and his
grandmother's stories to guide him, Charlie must embrace his ancient
destiny in a journey that will take him across the Spanish- and
Portuguese-speaking world in face-offs against ancient undead evils. At
least, if he wants to live long enough to graduate from middle school...
No pressure, muchacho.
This thrilling hardcover boxed set includes:
Charlie Hernández & the League of Shadows
Charlie Hernández & the Castle of Bones
Charlie Hernández & the Golden Dooms
