About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the fear of the unknown or feels stuck between two worlds: who they are and who they are expected to be. Set against a lush, mythological backdrop, this story follows Graciela, a girl who has spent a century as a sea ghost, and Jorge, a mortal boy terrified of the water. Together, they must stop a vengeful creator from using a magical harpoon to destroy the balance between the living and the dead. This is a deeply thoughtful fantasy that handles the concept of death and the afterlife with a gentle, secular touch. It explores themes of bravery, the weight of family legacy, and how we find our place in a vast world. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy high-stakes adventure but also appreciate a story that makes them think about the connections between us all.
