The Cursed Moon

PRE-ORDER THE CURSED MOON!

Amazon IndieBound
Barnes & Noble

Celebrated author Angela Cervantes’ brand new novel combines a chilling ghost story with her award-winning, heartfelt storytelling style.

Eleven-year-old Rafael Fuentes isn’t easily scared. He loves writing ghost stories, reading scary books, and entertaining his friends with terrifying tales he creates on the spot. Rafa has come up against enough real-life scary situations that fictional hauntings seem like no big deal, that is until he learns that his incarcerated mom is being released from jail soon, and will be coming to live with him, his sister, and their grandparents. For the first time in a while, Rafa feels a pit of fear growing in his stomach.To take his mind off his mom’s return, Rafa spends an evening crafting a scary ghost story about a vengeful ghost called The Caretaker. As a blood moon hangs in the sky, he tells the Caretaker story to his friends. Immediately after telling his story, Rafa notices strange things starting to happen around him. With a sinking feeling, Rafa believes his story brought the Caretaker to life―and only he can stop him.

Release date: September 5, 2023
