El Piñatero - The Legend of Simon Alejandro De La Peña

By Mr. Rey U Barrera

"A multifaceted read that is hard to easily categorize and just as difficult to put down."
- D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"Beautifully written and entertaining, this heartfelt story of courage, resilience, friendship, and family is a must-read."
- Bookview Review

"The world-building and mythos behind the fictional world of pi ata pulling as a sport and the emphasis on the culture that it brought spoke to the deeper themes of family, identity, and hope that the author touched upon."
- Anthony Avina, Reedsy

Simon-Alejandro dreamed big about small things. Since his twelfth birthday, he has wanted nothing more than to become a professional pi ata puller.

Now he's eighteen and is realizing that no one wants to pay for his pi ata-pulling services. But when he is approached by a mysterious stranger, Simon is invited to join an underground pi ata-fighting league that meets in secret while the rest of the city sleeps. Before he can hope to become the league's champion, Simon must learn how to balance his new secret life with his small family.
