chilling ghost story based on Mexican folklore. **
**
"Paola Santiago is a whip-smart Latina who dares to explore the
shadows between folklore and middle-school friendship. A thrilling
adventure."--Nina Moreno, author of Don't Date Rosa Santos
Paola Santiago has recently returned from Oregon, where she defeated the
Hitchhiker ghost and saved her father from the vengeful spirit that was
possessing him. The poor girl deserves a rest! But first she has to
rescue Dante from the void, where he's been imprisoned by some unknown
force. Even though Dante has turned against Pao, she can't just leave
him there--they've been friends for too long.
Paola's prophetic dreams seem to have dried up, so she has to find other
ways to locate a new rift where she can enter the void. Signs point to
Texas--but how is she going to get there from Arizona? It just so
happens that Emma's new group of politically active friends, the Rainbow
Rogues, are planning a field trip to San Antonio. It's the perfect ruse
for Paola, if she can stand being with the judgmental girls for that
many days. . . .
Relying on her wits, training from the Ninos de la Luz, and the
emotional support of her best friend Emma, Pao makes it into the void.
Once there she must face down not just one but two enemies: El Cucuy,
the bogeyman . . . and someone even scarier who looks a lot like Pao
herself.
Tehlor Kay Mejia's third exciting journey into Mexican folklore has
our lovable, intrepid protagonist making discoveries both wondrous and
fearsome. Presented by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson, soon to be
a series on Disney+.
