Carlitos is attending his first-ever Lucha Libre (professional wrestling) match in Mexico City with his Papá Lupe. While waiting for Tío Vicente, they enter the arena and come upon vendors selling luchador masks. Papá Lupe offers to buy Carlitos one, and he chooses the mask of the greatest luchador of all time, The Man in the Silver Mask. Vibrant illustrations take us into the ring as fans boo and hiss los rudos--the bad guys who will stop at nothing to win--and to cheer los técnicos--the good guys who earn their victories fairly. When Tío Vicente shows up after the action is over, readers will be left wondering, “Who was that masked man?” Includes a brief history of Lucha Libre.
