About the Book

Maximilian & the Lucha Libre Club is the third book in Xavier Garza's award-winning series Max's Lucha Libre Adventures. Sixth-grader Max joins the Lucha Libre Club. Grab your masks and let the action begin! POW! Maximilian & the Lucha Libre Club es el tercer libro de la galardonada serie Max's Lucha Libre Adventures por Xavier Garza. Max, estudiante de sexto grado, se une al Club de Lucha Libre. ¡Ponganse sus máscaras y que empiece la acción! ¡POW! Cecilia, the love of Max's life, has moved to Los Angeles, and the new girl in town, the green-eyed vixen named Paloma, is JUST a friend. At least, that's how Max sees things. But despite what he thinks, the match is on between Cecilia and Paloma, both vying for the noble and wild heart that Max doesn't quite understand he has. The trick is that Max lives a double life only Paloma knows about. While he looks like a nerdy sixth-grader, in reality he's a prince, descended from royal blood. And his uncle is the most famous luchador of all time, the very king of lucha libre--the Guardian Angel. Will Paloma blow Max's cover to Cecilia? Max sure hopes not! Cecilia, el amor de la vida de Max, se mudó a Los Ángeles, y la chica nueva en la ciudad, la muchacha atractiva de ojos verdes llamada Paloma, es SOLO una amiga. Al menos, así es como Max ve las cosas. Pero, a pesar de lo que él piensa, Cecilia y Paloma están en la pelea, ambas compitiendo por el corazón noble y salvaje que Max no comprende completamente que tiene. El truco es que Max vive una doble vida que solo Paloma conoce. Si bien parece un nerd de sexto grado, en realidad es un príncipe, descendiente de sangre real. Y su tío es el luchador más famoso de todos los tiempos, el mismísimo rey de la lucha libre: el Ángel de la Guarda. ¿Paloma le revelará a Cecilia el secreto de Max? ¡Max verdaderamente espera que no!
