Cathy Camper

Learn about lowriders and Mexican-American slang as three friends travel the solar system to pursue their dreams in this lighthearted graphic novel. Lupe Impala, El Chavo Flapjack, and Elirio Malaria love working with cars. You name it, they can fix it. But the team’s favorite cars of all are lowriders—cars that hip and hop, dip and drop, go low and slow, bajito y suavecito. The stars align when a contest for the best car around offers a prize of a trunkful of cash—just what the team needs to open their own shop! ¡Ay chihuahua! What will it take to transform a junker into the best car in the universe? Striking, unparalleled art from debut illustrator Raul the Third recalls ballpoint-pen-and-Sharpie desk-drawn doodles, while the story is sketched with Spanish, inked with science facts, and colored with true friendship. With a glossary at the back to provide definitions for Spanish and science terms, this delightful book will educate and entertain in equal measure.

What more could readers ask?” —Megan McDonald, bestselling author of the Judy Moody and Stink series“Lowriders in Space is FAR OUT, and the illustrations are OUT OF THIS WORLD.
