When the ghost adventure leads to Maya’s hospitalization, Cat blames both herself and Carlos, which makes seeing him at school difficult. When Carlos, a tall, brown, and handsome teen Ghost Tour guide introduces the sisters to the Bahía ghosts-most of whom were Spanish-speaking Mexicans when alive-they fascinate Maya and she them, but the terrified Cat wants only to get herself and Maya back to safety.

Despite her health, Maya loves adventure, even if her lungs suffer for it and even when Cat must follow to keep her safe.

Catrina narrates the story of her mixed-race (Latino/white) family’s move from Southern California to Bahía de la Luna on the Northern California coast.ĭad has a new job, but it’s little sister Maya’s lungs that motivate the move: she has had cystic fibrosis since birth-a degenerative breathing condition.
