It’s all they’ve heard since a schoolmate of theirs drowned a year ago. Pao is embarrassed to admit that she has been told to stay away for even longer than that, because her mother is constantly warning her about La Llorona, the wailing ghost woman who wanders the banks of the Gila at night, looking for young people to drag into its murky depths.\n\nHating her mother’s humiliating superstitions and knowing that she and her friends would never venture into the water, Pao organizes a meet-up to test out her new telescope near the Gila, since it’s the best stargazing spot. But when Emma never arrives and Pao sees a shadowy figure in the reeds, it seems like maybe her mom was right. . . .\n\nPao has always relied on hard science to make sense of the world, but to find her friend she will have to enter the world of her nightmares, which includes unnatural mist, mind-bending monsters, and relentless spirits controlled by a terrifying force that defies both logic and legend.\n\nEndorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians , soon to be a series on Disney+.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1368049176\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31URM8003J05_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mejia, Tehlor Kay\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Missing dust cover, otherwise book is in good condition with some wear from normal use.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43915616157757,"sku":"31URM8003J05_ns","price":6.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1368049176-0.jpg?v=1793312282","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/rick-riordan-presents-paola-santiago-and-the-river-of-tears-a-paola-santiago-novel-book-2","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
