Charlie Hernández & the League of Shadows (1)

The Lightning Thief meets the Story Thieves series in this middle grade fantasy inspired by Hispanic folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America.

Charlie Hernandez has always been proud of his Latin American heritage, thanks to his abuela's stories.

He possesses an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the monsters and ghouls who have spent the last five hundred years haunting the imaginations of children all across the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Central and South America.

When Charlie begins to experience freaky bodily manifestations—ones all too similar to those described by his grandma in his favorite legend—he is suddenly swept up in a world where the mythical beings he’s spent his entire life hearing about seem to be walking straight out of the pages of Hispanic folklore and into his life.

This exciting adventure will captivate kids who love Rick Riordan's many series, particularly for those eager for mythologies beyond Greek and Roman stories.

"Charlie Hernandez and the League of Shadows" is a must-read for all kids, but it will be especially beloved by Latinx and Hispanic families.
