I thoroughness enjoyed this book; it was a nice way to revisit a small part of my childhood.
I love the diversity of the characters in this story: dead and alive, healthy and unwell. The setting is also such a quaint place. Cat's decisions regarding her sister are something that are a very real sibling thing; Cat and Maya's relationship is well-written.

What tries to be a diverse book celebrating Day of the Dead and recognizing cystic fibrosis is a woefully disrespectful story that trivializes and misrepresents Dia de los Muertos, and fails to recognizes the terrible history of Spanish missions in California.
When grievances were brought to the author's attention, she deflected or even doubled down. There is now a non-apology on her website, but it took way too long to appear and is tucked away. PLEASE do not use this book as a cultural lesson on Dia de los Muertos.

Eu adorei essa história. Assim como Coragem, Raina consegue transmitir coisas tão intensas de uma forma bem delicada, simples, tocante para todas as idades.
Eu comprei esse livro de presente para uma prima de 12/13 anos e ela adorou, tanto quanto Coragem. Recomendo super para infantojuvenil, sempre falando de assuntos mais "pesados" com responsabilidade e carinho.
Achei o desfecho tão singelo e lindo, condizente com toda a aventura do livro, porque o que importa não é o desfecho, mas o caminho…
