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

from the sea. As the girls explore their new home, a neighbour lets
them in on a secret: There are ghosts in Bahia 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.

must set out to find their lost allies. Luckily, they aren't alone.
