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.

This book was great! It's about a girl named Catrina (Cat), and her little sister Maya. They are moving to the coast of Northern California because Maya is sick. Cool, salty air is good for her. But Catrina is not happy because she does not want to leave all her friends. When they get there, a neighbor tells them there are ghosts in town. Catrina doesn't believe in ghosts.. But maybe there are ghosts? This book was full of adventure, friendship, fun, and more! Raina Telgemeier really put her heart into this. I recommend this to kids who have siblings with health problems, like Maya. I definitely rate it 5/5.
