The summer after sixth grade, Lupe Garc_a invites her best friend Mi-Sun and her brother Ju-Won to spend two months of their vacation in Mexico with Lupe's uncle. Once there, the children enjoy new experiences, but after hearing scary stories about vampire-like chupacabras they begin to suspect the new housekeeper. Despite an abrupt solution to the mystery, this is a lively and engaging story.
