Carlos Vicuña, a writer based in Alicante, has just released an adventure novel paired with three reader-focused guides. The project also serves a meaningful purpose: all proceeds go to childhood cancer research, supporting families and scientists in the fight against the disease.
The author will present the book on a Wednesday at 18:00 in an Alicante bookstore, a signing event designed to engage readers of all ages and to raise awareness for a vital cause. Vicuña volunteers with Aspanion, merging his literary work with philanthropy, so every sale directly benefits the organization and its mission to aid children and their families.
Characters in the book echo a world where talents and dreams converge. The cast features Rodolfo, a tennis player; Alex, a taekwondo fighter; Adriana Cherry, a football player; Santi Canizares, a hall of fame personality; Ray Zapata, a gymnast; Niko Sherazadishvili, a judoka; Nahikari Garcia, a footballer; and Filu, a musician. Their varied backgrounds create a mosaic of perseverance and teamwork that mirrors the real lives of young readers who face challenges with courage.
The story follows Nunteri, an Indian girl from Crin Negra who inherits a mysterious affliction known as the Three Regrets. The illness advances relentlessly, and time becomes the most dangerous adversary. Only one ally stands a chance to save her, but the path requires stepping into an unknown world where the only weapon allowed is courage and trust. The narrative explores resilience, hope, and the power of belief when faced with a seemingly insurmountable fate.
Three Guides by Carlos Vicuña offers an adventure designed for children and teenagers worldwide. The project honors young readers while carrying a message of compassion for those battling illness. The profits aim to provide a meaningful boost to cancer research, supporting breakthroughs and helping families who need it most.
Public appearances and book presentations are planned for July 28 in a Pychon bookstore in Alicante at 7:00 pm. The tour will continue to cities including Valencia, Castellón, Cartagena, and Ciudad Real, extending the reach of the story and its public-health purpose across Spain and beyond.
