A young boy goes to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and unknowingly embarks on a mystery that may be more dangerous than he realized, especially when the bad guy from the book is seemingly coming to life.
The writing was breathtaking. I cannot imagine the original translation in Spanish. The descriptions were so illustrative and detailed.
As the mystery unraveled and more questions kept popping up, I was utterly captivated and unsure where the book would take me.
