From Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning author of Smile, Drama, and Sisters! Catrina and her family are moving to the coast of Northern California because her little sister, Maya, is sick. Cat isn't happy about leaving her friends for Bahía de la Luna, but Maya has cystic fibrosis and will benefit from the cool, salty air that blows in from the sea. As the girls explore their new home, a neighbor lets them in on a secret: There are ghosts in Bahía de la Luna. Maya is determined to meet one, but Cat wants nothing to do with them. As the time of year when ghosts reunite with their loved ones approaches, Cat must figure out how to put aside her fears for her sister's sake - and her own.Raina Telgemeier has masterfully created a moving and insightful story about the power of family and friendship, and how it gives us the courage to do what we never thought possible.

This was so sweet
This was a sweet and lovely story about sisters, facing your fears and embracing your culture. I loved the the images of Dias de los Muertos, i probably won't come across any ghosts but the festivities look wonderful.
Not a fan of ghost stuff but this was very twee, and the artwork is cute. The story gets progressively absurd over the course of the book, to the point where the resolution literally made me laugh. Weird lack of aboriginal ghosts though, given its set in Northern California.
Meant for a YA audience.
Had liked her other book, drama better than this one.
Good art, average story.
