Descripción editorial
A thirteen-year-old boy holds the fate of his family, his neighborhood, and the world in his hands when he discovers that his cat is from a secret realm of warrior cats facing a dangerous enemy.
Tito Rodríguez loves his family, his comics, and his neighborhood—Barrio San Antonio in Cali, Colombia—but it’s not easy being a dorky ñoño who gets teased by the kids at school.
And things certainly don't get easier when Tito befriends a stray cat who leads him into a hidden realm…one where cats are revealed to be legendary warriors that protect our world from evil spirits who feed on negative emotions. And according to an ancient prophecy, Tito is the Chosen One who will lead the fight against the forces of darkness…probably.
It turns out that there are three possible Chosen Ones—Tito and his new friends and fellow outsiders Luisito and Isa, each with their own furry sidekicks. And with the barriers between worlds are wearing thin, all three will have to train for the ultimate battle and figure out who is the true hero that will save the worlds.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A rapid-paced Chosen One narrative propels Korpon and Paz's rollicking double debut, a series launch. In Cali, Colombia's Barrio San Antonio, 13-year-old artist and superhero fanatic Tito Rodríguez endures frequent torment from bullies who mock the facial expressions and bodily movements brought about by his Tourette's. Tito's diagnosis—which allows him to "notice patterns everywhere"—helps him realize that an orange cat has been following him. As Tito copes with the devastating news that his papá, who immigrated to the U.S. for work, now has a new family and won't be returning to Colombia, the cat, named Cukkito, takes the teen to a realm of talking warrior felines. There, Tito learns that he may be the Chosen One destined to save the human and cat realms from an imminent invasion of destructive spirits called Ywanch. Tension mounts when Tito's mamá is bespelled by dark Ywanch magic. Alongside two other potential Chosen Ones, Tito must channel his beloved superheroes to eliminate the threat. Imagery-rich language depicts a vibrant backdrop ("Cali had a heartbeat, and that heartbeat was music, art, and joy") against which vivacious and compassionate Tito utilizes his neurological condition in the fight to save the people and place he loves. Ages 8–12.
