Xavier Garza brings another action-packed bilingual picture book about traditional Mexican wrestling--lucha libre!

Xavier Garza presenta otro libro ilustrado lleno de acción sobre un deporte tradicional de Mexico: la lucha libre!​

Young Carlitos attends a lucha libre match in Mexico City for the first time with his Papá Lupe, but his Tío Vicente is nowhere to be found, though he's supposed to join. At ringside, Carlitos sees the greatest luchador of all time--the Man in the Silver Mask. His eyes look familiar, and he even flashes Carlitos a mysterious smile... The young boy is mesmerized as The Man in the Silver Mask is pitted against the terrible rudos, the bad guys of lucha libre. Can Carlitos's newest hero defeat the fearsome masked villains?

Acclaimed author and lifelong lucha libre fanatic Xavier Garza introduces children to the thrilling world of this beloved Mexican sport: favorite heroes and much-feared villains, dressed in dazzling and outrageous costumes, strut and prance across the mat and bounce against the ropes, daring anyone to take them to the floor! In an afterword, Garza provides helpful context, discussing the history and cultural significance of lucha libre.

Carlitos asiste su primer pelea de lucha libre en la Ciudad de México con su Papá Lupe, pero no aparece su Tío Vicente, que debería acompañarlos. En el ringside, Carlitos ve al más grandioso luchador en la historia de lucha libre, El Hombre de la Máscara de Plata. Sus ojos le parecen familiares, y hasta le sonríe misteriosamente a Carlitos... El niño está hipnotizado cuando El Hombre de la Máscara de Plata se enfrenta a los rudos, los malos de la lucha libre. Podra el nuevo héroe de Carlitos vencer a los terroríficos villanos?

El galardonado autor, y fanatico de lucha libre de por vida, Xavier Garza le presenta a lectores pequeños el mundo emocionante del adorado deporte mexicano. En Lucha libre, los jóvenes fanáticos verán este mundo fascinante ven a la vida: héroes favoritos y villanos muy temidos, vestidos con trajes deslumbrantes e indignantes, pavoneándose y brincando sobre el tapete y rebotando contra las cuerdas, desafiando a cualquiera a llevarlos al piso!
