Jalisco's a humble girl that lives on the outskirts of Guadalajara. Her mom takes her to the park to cheer her up with folklorico dance, and out of nowhere- Jalisco's mom disappears.</p><p>Jalisco goes to the cops, who brush her away. She goes home in hopes that her mom is there, but she's not. Jalisco ends up going to the bar to ask for help- anyone's help.</p><p>Again, everyone snubs her. So Jalisco sets off on her own to find her mom. Luckily for her she gets saved by a band of Adelitas. They all know the fate of her mom but can't tell her about the rampant femicide.</p><p>Instead Adella, the matriarch of the Adelitas, says she'll train her so she can learn to protect herself. Jalisco says she just wants to find her mom. Adella tells her about Malinche, the traitor to our gender and the leader of the femicides.</p><p>And the story continues...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"At a time when representation matters most... a Latina superhero who uses traditionally feminine and Mexican art to serve and protect fills a need for many readers. Young Jalisco's tale also highlights the horrors of femicide, especially given how many officials ignore the problem and prefer to focus on clearer-cut crimes. The overall story goes down smoothly, but it can open the reader's eyes to wider world issues." - Fanbase Press</p><p>"We love that right off the bat we know Jalisco is of Mexican descent and that she's a dancer that has a passion for her culture. Jalisco is also facing the kind of violence that your typical male superhero doesn't encounter. She's fighting the violence that plagues women in Mexico at epidemic rates." - Mitu</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><br>
