“Beware: cutest Chupacabra ever!"  — Sophie Escabasse, creator of the bestselling Witches of Brooklyn series “Everyone needs a Chupie in their life!” — Kat Fajardo, creator of Miss Quinces  “What’s better than a summer vacation with new friends and a mythical beast? Saving Chupie has them both and more” — Tim Probert, creator of the Lightfall series "Expressive, colorful, and full of heart-- perfect for a young animal enthusiast looking for adventure." — Wendy Xu, author of Tidesong  "I’m a sucker for coming-of-age stories mixed with a kid and a secret monster. Saving Chupie is like E.T. in Puerto Rico." — Yehudi Mercado, author of Chunky Goes to Camp "Saving Chupie is as heartwarming as it is hilarious, standing out in a crowded graphic novel space with a unique voice, stunning art, and unforgettable characters." — George Jreije, author of Shad Hadid and the Alchemists of Alexandria
