VOLUME 02

Lena and Maggie’s classmate, Jessica, keeps bragging about her family’s “Best Salsa” but that title should go to Lena’s mom! Without thinking, Lena challenges Jessica to a Salsa Off and in her anger a flame legend arrives to make the salsa spicier and spicier! Will Lena and her mom be able to win the contest and prove whose salsa is really the best? Burned Out is a story about parents that try their best but at times feel like it isn’t enough and about the pressures that a kid of immigrants navigate day to day to help their families.

La compañera de clase de Lena y Maggie, Jessica, no deja de presumir que su familia hace “la mejor” salsa ¡pero ese título debería pertenecer a la mamá de Lena! Y sin pensarlo, Lena reta a Maggie a un duelo de salsas y del coraje que siente, aparece la flama legendaria para hacer la salsa ¡más y más picante! Burned Out es una historia sobre padres que dan su mejor esfuerzo pero que a veces sienten que no es suficiente y sobre la presión que un hijo de padres migrantes debe enfrentar a diario para ayudar a su familia.
