Lowriders to the Center of the Earth



TitleLowriders to the Center of the Earth
Author Cathy Camper
Call Number PN6727.C2948 L68 2016
Location 1st Floor Graphic Novel
Rating Highly Recommended
Book Review This graphic novel follows a mechanic and her crew as they travel to the center of the Earth in their lowrider car in search of their beloved cat who disappeared after an earthquake. Along the way, they encounter many figures/experiences from the Mexican and Aztec cultures, such as Aztec gods, La Llorona, and a Day of the Dead celebration. I loved all the cultural references (there are a lot). I only wish that the illustrations were more vibrant, but with such a rich story, I hardly noticed.
