Flaming Iguanas (Mad Dog Rodríguez Trilogy #1)

Huck Finn, Jack Kerouac, Thelma and Louise: the American way has always been that when the going gets tough, the tough – and all the other interesting people – get going. The road has always been the place to find out exactly who and what you are.

Flaming Iguanas, by Erika Lopez is the latest and the wildest all-American road show yet. Here, Tomato Rodríguez hops on her motorcycle and embarks on the ultimate sea-to-shining-sea all-girl adventure – a story that combines all the best parts of Alice in Wonderland and Easy Rider as Tomato crosses the country in search of the meaning of life, love, and the perfect post office. By the time Tomato rolls into San Francisco, she has visited post offices galore, tried using a mantra to give herself a lobotomy, decided to sleep with men, decided not to sleep with men, prayed for a bisexual role model, and figured out that who she is is whatever she makes up that day.

Flaming Iguanas is a hilarious and unique first novel that combines text, line drawings, rubber stamp art, and a serious dose of attitude. The result is a wild and wonderful ride unlike any you've ever taken before.
