"A perfect pick for kids who love Rick Riordan." --Booklist on Charlie Hern ndez & the League of Shadows (starred review) "A winner for all kids, but it will be especially loved by Latinx and Hispanic families." --Kirkus Reviews on Charlie Hern ndez & the League of Shadows (starred review)Inspired by Hispanic folklore, legends, and myths from the Iberian Peninsula and Central and South America, all five books in the Charlie Hern ndez series are now available together in one collectible hardcover boxed set Thanks to his abuela's stories, Charlie Hern ndez possesses an almost encyclopedic knowledge of the mythological monsters that haunt Latinx folklore. He always assumed they were just fiction, but shortly after his parents disappear, he begins to experience strange bodily manifestations--including wings and horns--which are all too similar to his favorite legend of the Morphling. The next thing he knows, Charlie finds himself swept up in a millennia-old war between La Liga, a secret society of legendary beings sworn to protect the Land of the Living, and La Mano Peluda (a.k.a. the Hairy Hand), a cabal of evil sombras determined to rule mankind. With the help of his lifelong crush, Violet Rey, and his grandmother's stories to guide him, Charlie must embrace his destiny as the fifth and final morphling in a quest that will take him throughout the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world. Because if he doesn't, it's only a matter of time before the Land of the Living is overrun by the dead. This action-packed boxed set includes: Charlie Hern ndez & The League of Shadows Charlie Hern ndez & The Castle of Bones Charlie Hern ndez & The Golden Dooms Charlie Hern ndez & The Phantom of Time Charlie Hern ndez & The Hand of Darkness
