Jesse 'Street Angel' Sanchez is the deadliest girl alive - a teenage
homeless orphan skateboarder, fighting ninjas and trying to pass 7th grade! She
likes food, hanging out with her friends, Bell (a robot girl), Lilith (Satan's
daughter), and Emma (a zombie), saving the world, fighting, and food.
Jesse “Street Angel” Sanchez takes the Ninja Kid to school!
Her fists are the facts and his face is the report card! Don't miss this very
special After School Kung Fu, er, uh...Special?
Meanwhile, Saturday
night's the big dance and Jesse doesn't want to go! Is love in the air?
No.
STREET ANGEL AFTER SCHOOL KUNG FU SPECIAL centers around Jessica
"Street Angel" Sanchez, who is no stranger to battling forces that you think
would be beyond her control. There's still the pesky matter of having a regular
life, having to go to school and contend with friends that want her to go to an
after school dance. They mean well, but there is another little matter of a
showdown with the Ninja Kid to attend to after school that may change things.
It's pretty clear that Van Buren Middle School is not ordinary school, but yet
there is a very familiar feel to this story. I don't want to spoil any of the
details, but you do get to see a couple of different sides to Jessica. After
the fight happens (which isn't a spoiler, because it wouldn't be a Kung Fu
Special without one), things kind of take a turn from there. What we end up
with is something quite unexpected, and yet, should leave you smiling at the
end.
PRAISE FOR STREET ANGEL AFTER SCHOOL KUNG FU
SPECIAL
"Jesse Sanchez is my new favorite comic book character. Great
middle school dialogue and the battle scenes will blow your
mind!”
-Jeff Smith (Bone, RASL, Tuki)
"Jesse, a.k.a. Street
Angel is a rare gem in the male-dominated world of comic book characters. When
you finally find a comic book hero that is female, skateboards, and kicks ass,
that's when you know young girls out there now have a strong super hero to
follow. STREET ANGEL shows girls that they can be anything they want to be,
including someone who saves the world and fights injustices, one bad guy at a
time. She also defies female stereotypes right and left, and that is pretty darn
cool."
-Cindy Whitehead, founder of Girl is NOT a 4 Letter
Word
"STREET ANGELl remains as charming, inventive, and pitch-perfect as
it was in the beginning. An indie-comics classic!"
-Hope Larson (Compass
South, Batgirl)
“I thought I didn't like comics about kicking ass,
but it turns out I REALLY like comics where the ass-kicker is a 7 year old girl.
A+++ more ass-kicking please.”
-Eleanor Davis (Libby's Dad, How to Be
Happy)
"With great style and flair, Rugg delivers another stellar story
of the ever-sassy Jesse Sanchez a.k.a. Street Angel. Jam-packed with tween
angst, humor, action, and fun, this book is a must-read for the rebel
set."
-Cecil Castellucci (Shade, the Changing Girl, The PLAIN
Janes)
“STREET ANGEL pulsates with danger!”
