Eleven-year-old Rafael Fuentes 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. 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 story to his friends. Immediately after, Rafa notices strange things starting to happen around him. Has his story come true?

 

Reviews

“Cervantes…delivers a frightening adventure; Rafa and Brianna’s close sibling dynamic, and his strained relationship with his mother, are the emotional center of this supernatural page-turner.”
—Publisher’s Weekly

“Cervantes’ latest deals with the complicated issues that arise from having an incarcerated parent and provides ample creep factor for young horror fans without ever losing sight of the fact that maintaining hope is key. The power of words lies at the heart of this heartwarming story.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“The big selling point is the scary stories – The Cursed Moon surely is one, perfect for kids who are just a little too young for Stephen King.”
— Daniel Goldin, Boswell Book Company
