"Outrageously creative! Kids will drink in every imaginative detail in El Toro's wild world!" --Jeff Kinney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series

From the Eisner Award Nominated World of Vamos! series, Tough Times finds everyone's favorite young luchador fighting a losing streak in an action-packed, graphic-novel-style El Toro & Friends paper-over-board reader by New York Times bestselling, three-time Pura Belpré Award-winning author-illustrator Raúl the Third.
The rookie Kid Toro hasn't won a match in a long time. He loses to every wrestler he fights, from Al "the Crane" Scorpio to Prickly Pear to Burrobot. It feels like he'll never win again!
Luckily, his coach, Ricky Raton, won't let him give up so easily. As he reminds his young fighter what he does best, Kid Toro starts to realize that, when you get knocked down, getting back up makes all the difference.
Tackling Spanish phrases and packed full of humor, these Eisner-nominated early reader graphic novels are essential for readers who want an action-packed story and lots of laughs.
