(2) 4-6 Translated by Luisa Baeta. Illustrated by Lucia Brandao. Machado sets this tale in her native Brazil. A sad and restless ghost child from the nineteenth century appears before Mariano and his friends and entrusts them with the appalling story of her life as a slave and her shocking death. Expressionistic black-and-white illustrations impart an otherworldly flavor to this all-too-real ghost tale of human cruelty and redemptive decency.
