Lowriders to the Center of the Earth (eBook)

Three lowrider-loving friends ride to the center of the earth to rescue their cat from an Aztec god in this graphic novel fantasy adventure. Lupe Impala, El Chabo Flapjack, and Elirio Malaria are living the dream—they are the proud owners of their very own garage. But when their beloved cat, Genie, goes missing, they must embark on a wild road trip through a mysterious corn maze, into the center of the earth, and down to the realm of Mictlantecuhtli. Mic’s the Aztec god of the Underworld, but even worse: he’s a catnapper! Now it’s three clever compadres against one angry, all-powerful god. How will the Lowriders ever save their cat—or themselves?
