In this immediate, first-person story of the urban-legend variety, Elena Padilla meets a ghost-girl, who asks for Elena's help in righting a wrong she had committed while alive. English and Spanish texts are presented in alternating paragraphs on the well-designed pages, and the format will encourage reluctant readers while incidentally increasing suspense. This is a good choice for libraries where scary stories are popular.
