What is Thumbelina, Wrestling Champ about?

Tania “Thumbelina” Pulgar is tiny, tough and determined to become a wrestling champion. When her friend Jorge introduces her to Mr Mole, she is promised fame and fortune in the professional ring. But life on the road soon becomes miserable, and Mr Mole forces Tania to perform as a flashy character who does not feel like her. Can she escape his control, rediscover what she loves about wrestling and choose her own path? This lively graphic novel retells Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale with a modern sporting twist.
