ALICIA Y LOS MATAOS. Empieza el partido

Alicia has just moved to a new town and started at a new school… only to discover there isn't a single basketball court. For someone who dreams of becoming like the NBA legends of the 80s and 90s her father loves so much, it feels like a disaster.

But giving up isn't in her playbook. Alicia decides to form a team with her new classmates, even if none of them have ever played before. Wildly missed shots, a serious family drama and becoming the laughing stock of the whole school would surely prove too much for a young girl. Even the headmaster is determined to shut them down. However, she pursues and the worst basketball team in school history is born… or maybe the most unforgettable one.

Will Alicia and Los Mataos (the Underdogs) prove that being a team means much more than just winning games?

Biography
Vila Sexto, Carlos

Carlos Vila Sexto (A Coruña, 1977) has always loved basketball. When he wasn’t selected for his school team at the age of thirteen, he decided to start his own. And guess what? They won the league that year. Since then, we haven’t seen him much on the basketball courts, but we have seen him on TV — where he has created series such as Los misterios de Laura and Si es martes… esto es un asesinato (If it’s Tuesday… this is murder) — and in bookshops, thanks to stories such as Hugo y el ladrón fantasma (Hugo and the Phantom Thief), Morir no es nada del otro mundo (Dying is Not a Big Deal), Sonámbulos (Sleepwalkers), Odio a los fantasmas (I Hate Ghosts) and the trilogy Las Crónicas del Viajante (The Traveller’s Chronicles), all published by Edebé.
