Telgemeier, Raina.
GHOSTSGraphix, 2016
Catrina’s family is moving to northern California, hoping the cool sea air will make it easier for her little sister Maya to breathe, despite her cystic fibrosis. Moving is never easy. Leaving friends and favorite things behind, while having to navigate an entirely new place can be daunting- frightening even. For Catrina, her new home in Bahia de la Luna is even more so. On their first day in town, the sisters meet Carlos, a neighbor boy who explains that their new town is full of GHOSTS. He explains they’re not scary, but actually the spirits of lost loved ones, returning to visit. Maya is thrilled and insists on learning more, but Catrina is freaked out. When an encounter with an honest-to-god ghost puts Maya in the hospital, Catrina refuses to hear any more about them, or from Carlos. But Dia de los Muertos is approaching, and Maya’s prognosis isn’t improving. Catrina can no longer ignore her fears, and must learn to face them, both otherworldly and right at home.
