Synopsis

¡Una de las Top 100 Novelas de Fantasía de Todos los Tiempos de la Revista TIME—Ahora en español!  Una adolescente de Texas se enfrenta al fantasma de su primo y jura desenmascarar al asesino. Elatsoe—Ellie, para abreviar—vive en los Estados Unidos de hoy, pero en una realidad alternativa, moldeada por las magias ancestrales y los saberes propios de los grupos indígenas e inmigrantes. Ellie puede despertar el espíritu de animales muertos y, lo más importante, de su perro fantasma Kirby. Cuando su primo, al que adora, muere, todo apunta a un accidente automovilístico, pero su fantasma le dice lo contrario: lo asesinaron.  ¿Quién lo mató y cómo murió? Con la ayuda de su familia, su mejor amigo Jay y la memoria de su tatarabuela en sexto grado, Elatsoe debe rastrear al asesino y desentrañar el misterio de este pueblo espeluznante y su oscuro pasado. ¿Será posible que los siniestros habitantes del pueblo y un misterioso doctor la detengan antes de que pueda empezar? La impresionante novela debut de Darcie Little Badger presenta a una protagonista adolescente asexual y apache—y combina misterio, horror, noir, conocimiento ancestral, y elementos de fantasía—en uno de los libros más comentados de los últimos años. Ganador del Premio Locus—Mejor Primera Novela • Un Bestseller Nacional Independiente • Finalista del Premio Nebula • Finalista del Premio Lodestar • Finalista del Premio Ignyte • Lo Mejor del Año de NPR • Lo Mejor de Ciencia Ficción y Fantasía para Jóvenes Adultos de BuzzFeed • Lo Mejor del Año de Tor • Finalista del Premio de Literatura Juvenil Indígena Americana ★ "Una voz y una perspectiva frescas."—Booklist, reseña estelar

I wanted to love this book so much. I couldn't wait to get my hands on it, and I was even pondering possibly teaching it. I mean, it's got ghosts and monsters, Lipan Apache history and culture, and crimes to solve! And, it started out great -- lovely writing, pithy dialogue, and all the rest I was l......more

This whole story would have worked better if it had just embraced being a middle grade story. Next the con......more
