Catrina and her family move to Bahia de la Luna in
Northern California in the hope that the move will improve the health of her
sister Maya, who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Saddened to leave her friends
and sunshine behind (as the sun only shines in their new town approximately 85
days out of the year), Catrina becomes terrifyingly aware of the ghosts that
live in the town. Maya is intrigued by
the apparitions and even constructs an Ofrenda for her Grandma.
This Spanish-language edition of Raina Telgemeier’s Ghosts will captivate and delight young Spanish-speaking readers. The story is exciting and informative as it discusses the disease of cystic fibrosis, as well as various Hispanic traditions and customs.
In addition to the great story, there are great illustrations that enhance the text. Colorful drawings portray the emotions of the characters and add detail to the writing.
