(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Lucely Luna has big problems: her father's St. Augustine, Florida, ghost-tour business is struggling; the bank is threatening to foreclose on their mortgage; and a sinister supernatural force is coming to take its revenge on the good ghosts in town--many of whom are Lucely's beloved relatives. Fortunately, Lucely also has a devoted best friend, and together she and Syd set out to vanquish the invaders before Halloween night, when an "army of evil spirits" plans to wreak destruction on the city. The action is nonstop, the demons are truly creepy, and Lucely is a sympathetic and brave heroine. Dominican American Lucely's conversations with her ghost relatives incorporate Spanish naturally and seamlessly.
