Official synopsis Publisher
“Hay algo inusual en este pueblo… Catrina y su familia se están mudando a la costa norte de California porque su hermana menor, Maya, está enferma. Cat no quiere ir a Bahía de la Luna y dejar a sus amigas, pero Maya tiene fibrosis quística y el aire salado y frío que sopla desde la bahía le sentará bien. Cuando las chicas salen a conocer el vecindario, alguien les revela un secreto: en Bahía de la Luna hay fantasmas. Maya se empeña en conocer a uno, pero Cat no quiere tener nada que ver con ellos. A medida que se acerca la época del año en que los fantasmas se reúnen con sus seres queridos, Cat debe encontrar la manera de hacer a un lado sus miedos por el bien de su hermana… y por el suyo también”–Page 4 of cover.
