Synopsis

A debut graphic novel about one girl's weightlifting dreams and how far she'll go for them, from a popular Chilean animator.

Sam Sanchez might not have a coach or proper equipment, but she's going to become Chile's first weightlifting gold medalist. She just knows it.

When there's an opportunity to train at the high-performance centre with her weightlifting hero and Olympic gold medallist Eva Dos Santos . . .  Sam can't let that opportunity pass. Even if it means going behind her parents' back.

As she makes friends (and a rival) during training and tries to qualify for the Pan American Games, she'll find out how far hard work and perseverance can take her and just how much weight she's able to hold.

A powerful graphic novel about holding on to your dreams.
