(3) 4-6 Orphaned brothers Javier and Nico move from Puerto Rico to live with their aunt in California. Mysterious events--including unexplained power outages and flying cookware--lead Javi to realize Nico's "imaginary friend" is actually the ghost of a little boy kidnapped decades ago. Elements of the supernatural are smoothly incorporated into this story of two boys trying to adjust to a new home and family.
