| Summary |
¡Vincent Ventura, extraordinario luchador de monstruos, no puede creer que la casa en 666 Duende Street haya atraído a otra criatura espeluznante! De hecho, hay varios seres inusuales, incluidos fantasmas y una dama de blanco con ojos brillantes y ardientes. ¿Es ella... La Llorona?!? ¿Y quién es la otra joven? Al día siguiente en la escuela, Vincent y sus primos conocen a una nueva maestra sustituta, la Sra. Malin Che, que acaba de mudarse a la casa encantada. ¿Cuál es su conexión con las criaturas? Al menos esta vez, los niños tienen nuevos amigos para ayudar a resolver el misterio: Sayer, a quien ayudaron en una batalla anterior con trolls o duendes, y Zulema, una bruja búho que fue el objetivo de las brujas malvadas. A medida que la relación entre Vincent y Zulema evoluciona, volviéndose más compleja y emocionante, ¡también lo hace el caso actual! Aparecen dos nuevos seres: una figura horrible vestida como un vaquero mexicano cuyo rostro está desprovisto de carne y una segunda mujer espeluznante. Un experto en folklore latinoamericano les habla sobre el Charro Negro y las mujeres lloronas llamadas colectivamente Cihuateteos. ¡Este libro bilingüe para lectores intermedios, el cuarto de la serie Monster Fighter Mystery de Garza, sigue la batalla de morderse las uñas por las almas de los niños! |

Vincent Ventura, monster fighter extraordinaire, can't believe the house at 666 Duende Street has attracted yet another creepy creature! In fact, there are several unusual beings, including ghosts and a lady in white with fiery glowing eyes! Is she ... La Llorona?!? And who is the other young woman? The next day at school, Vincent and his cousins meet a new substitute teacher, Ms. Malin Che, who just moved into the haunted house. What is her connection to the creatures? At least this time, the kids have new friends to help solve the mystery: Sayer, who they helped in a previous battle with trolls, or duendes, and Zulema, a witch owl who was the target of evil witches. As the relationship between Vincent and Zulema evolves, becoming more complex and exciting, so too does the current case! Two new beings turn up: a hideous figure dressed as a Mexican cowboy whose face is devoid of flesh and a second spooky woman! A Latin American folklore expert tells them about el Charro Negro and the weeping women collectively called Cihuateteos. This bilingual book for intermediate readers, the fourth in Garza's Monster Fighter Mystery series, follows the nail-biting battle for the boys' souls! |
