In this duology finale of the action-packed and hilarious contemporary graphic novel retelling of Don Quixote, modern-day knight and young Texan Lucia must save her town from a coven of shapeshifting witches, all while balancing friends, family, and middle school.
Lucia has become what she’s always hoped to be—a local hero. But between chores and homework, arguments with her parents and best friend, Sandro, and helping her neighbors with her special abilities, she's busier than ever before.
When the townspeople's treasured possessions go missing and owls start flocking around Laredo, Lucia's gut knows that something is wrong . . . if only she had the time to get to the bottom of it. But monsters wait on no one, and there's an evil coven of witches lurking in the shadows, preparing to wreak havoc—whether Lucia’s ready or not. Perfect for fans of Mighty Jack, Zita the Spacegirl, and Amulet.
“Folklore, fun, and adventure at its best.” —Max Brallier, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Last Kids on Earth on Doña Quixote: Rise of the Knight
