Frederick Luis Aldama. Artist Chris Escobar.
Chupacabra Charlie is a polite, handsome, and unusually tall ten-year-old chupacabra who sets off on an adventure with his human friend, Lupe. With only some leftover bacon quesadillas and a few cans of Jumex, they set off on their adventure at the US/Mexico border where they meet strange people and terrifying danger that includes freeing children from cages. Thankfully, Charlie is a reassuring and winsome companion who never doubts that he and Lupe will return safely home.
