In this middle-grade graphic novel debut by Gonzalo Alvarez, the fate of Aztlan, the mythical homeland of the Aztec people, rests on one boy\u2019s shoulders.<\/b><\/p>\r\n
Emanuel is a chicken. He\u2019d rather play with his canicas than stand up to bullies. Even the characters in his abuelita\u2019s folk stories scare him. So imagine his surprise when one of those characters, El Raton, appears in his bedroom one night to steal his canicas and drag him through a portal into Aztlan, home to the ancient Aztecs.<\/p>\r\n
Thankfully,\u00a0<\/b>Emanuel is rescued by a shapeshifter named Chiko, who introduces him to this magical land, where fabled monsters of his childhood run amok. It\u2019s not before long Emanuel discovers he is the Sun Warrior, wielder of the Sun Stone, protector of Aztlan. Only he can put an end to El Raton\u2019s reign and free the people of Aztlan from his terror.<\/p>\r\n
