Paola Santiago is a scientist and logical thinker, she believes all the old stories her mom told her are just that stories so scare Pao into not doing things. Pao, Dante, and Emma are the inseparable trio they are always together and have all been told to stay away from the Gila river, and even more so when a classmate drown there a year ago. But the Gila is the best place to watch the stars from Emma's telescope. Pao and Dante must fess up that that is where they where going the night Emma disappears. Is it the kidnapper from 4 towns away, or is it one of the bad ghosts from Pao's mom stories.
You will need to read this awesome book filled with Hispanic lore, action everywhere, and suspense big enough to fill Emma's house to find out. This is a fun book especially if you want to be scared but alas it does not take place on Dia de Muertos. But the characters are fun and true to themselves, their friends, and their families. This is such a wonderfully diverse book that our shelves so desperately need these days and I can't wait to see what Pao and her friends are up to next.
