The Adventures of Paleta Man: Great Pyramid of Cholula

By Paul Ramirez

In the barrio, Esteban Ruiz is just a paletero - pushing his cart down sun-baked streets, calling out flavors, keeping his three rowdy sons (and one very proud chihuahua) in line. But Esteban has a secret hiding in his cooler: paletas infused with ancient power, each flavor unlocking a different gift - the strength of stone, the speed of wind, the fire of legend.

When shadows begin creeping through the neighborhood and an old evil stirs beneath the Great Pyramid of Cholula, Esteban discovers that being a hero was never something he chose - it's something written into his family's blood. With his daughter Angelica uncovering warnings in old photographs, his sons Diego, Mateo, and Guillermo learning that their backyard training was never just for fun, and allies like Do a Lupita and fearless Oscar joining the fight, the Ruiz family must journey south to face the Teotl Serpent before it breaks free for good.

Blending Aztec myth, barrio heart, and paleta-powered magic, Great Pyramid of Cholula is a fast, funny, heartfelt adventure about family, legacy, and the power hiding in the flavors of home.
