Quince: The Definitive Bilingual Edition Hardcover

If you can survive being fifteen, you’re a superhero.

SYNOPSIS:
Lupe is just your average, insecure, well-meaning, occasionally cranky teenage girl whose life is completely turned upside down when she discovers she has superpowers at her quinceañera. Her quince powers only last as long as she’s fifteen, so over the course of this rollercoaster year, we follow the adventures of Lupe as she figures out what it really means to be a hero.
