Maximilian & the Bingo Rematch is the second book in Xavier Garza's award-winning series Max's Lucha Libre Adventures. Maximilian's old aunts battle for the Queen Bingo trophy while his sweetheart and the new girl war for Max's heart.

Maximilian & la revancha de la lotería es el segundo libro de la galardonada serie Max's Lucha Libre Adventures por Xavier Garza. Las tías viejitas de Maximilian pelean por el trofeo de Reina de la Lotería mientras su novia y la chica nueva luchan por el corazón de Max.

Suddenly everybody in Max's life seems to be fighting: a couple of cranky tías who, like lucha libre rudos, will stop at nothing to triumph in the church's lotería game; his masked uncles going for the tag-team title of the world; and a green-eyed vixen named Paloma who challenges his love for Cecilia. Will good triumph over evil? Max sure hopes so!

De repente, parece que todos alrededor de Max se están peleando: un par de tías malhumoradas que, como los rudos de la lucha libre, no se detendrán ante nada para triunfar en el juego de la lotería de la iglesia; sus tíos enmascarados que van por el título mundial en parejas; y una muchacha bonita de ojos verdes llamada Paloma que desafía su amor por Cecilia. ¿Triunfará el bien sobre el mal? ¡Max sí que lo espera!

        Gr 4-7-This bilingual sequel to Maximilian & the Mystery of the Guardian Angel (Cinco Puntos, 2011) avoids formulaic trappings and can be readily enjoyed as a stand-alone novel while artfully setting up the next installment. Everything has become more complicated for lucha-libre wrestling fanatic Maximilian since starting sixth grade. A loteria bingo game almost breaks out into "a no-holds-barred brawl" when his aunts Dolores and Socorro both claim the Queen Bingo trophy and an intense rematch looms imminent. Big changes with his Uncle Lalo put the family's newly minted wrestling dynasty on shaky ground. Romance blossoms between Maximilian and Celia Cruz, who then moves to California. Can their long-distance love last, especially when a new girl with a mysterious connection to Maximilian moves to Rio Grande City? Max's transition into sixth grade drives this adventure and coming-of-age novel's narrative arc, framing a plot that focuses on relationships that a range of readers will connect with: family, friends, and first love, among others. Garza employs plenty of humor and a first-person voice that rings true to Maximilian's character. The story includes enough action to satisfy most fans while broadening its focus to reflect the increasing complexities in the boy's life. Energetic cartoon illustrations complement the story, particularly those related to lucha libre. A quick pace and short chapters make this an engaging read; with its bilingual text and universally relatable treatment of Latino culture, it's an outstanding choice.-Ted McCoy, Oakland Public Library, CA

        Sixth grader Max (Maximilian and the Mystery of the Guardian Angel) finds new challenges in junior high. The eighth graders are mean, "the girl of his dreams" moves away, and a new girl seems determined to get Max in trouble. The uncomplicated story line lacks any real tension, but this bilingual text in both English and Spanish is a quick read. A black-and-white illustration opens each chapter.
