Adela Ramirez has never known her father, but when her stepfather suggests adoption, Addie figures it’s time to find out about him. Little does she know that her search will lead her to the legendary Bravos, a family with a legacy of professional wrestling. Addie enjoys getting to know her grandparents, Uncle, and cousins, but Manny is trickier. Her father may be a great wrestler, but does he know how to be a great father?
Tumble is a fun coming of age story, filled with humor and depth. It’s an especially great read for those interested in luchadores and the culture that surrounds those wrestlers. This is a story about family, but it is also a story about finding yourself and forging your place in the world.
Recommended ages–9-14 years old
