4.5/5 I loved it! Spooky stories but for kids. You get to learn about Mexican folklore as well.

I was waffling on the rating because these stories feel like they are being told to children, but it seems like that was the point of it. I didn't love that aspect, but ultimately I won't knock a star because I didn't know Avila was a storyteller. Some of them can get pretty harsh but hey no worse than Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. Overall it is pretty good and I do recommend it if you're looking for a good folklore-oriented ghost story anthology.
