Noelia and Wara are two girls who live in the city of El Alto, Bolivia. Wrestling is their passion. They are often told that 'wrestling is for boys.' But despite this resistance, every Sunday they proudly put on the traditional costume of the Cholitas, the Aymara women of Bolivia, and head to the ring, where they would fight with courage and defy all the odds stacked against them. The stories told in the Against All Odds picture book series are true stories of brave boys and girls from different parts of the world, who, with their small everyday actions, beat the odds and achieve something great.
