The Unlikely Aventuras of Ramón and El Cucuy

A young cucuy is sent to frighten Ramón, the first human child he has been assigned to scare. Eager to prove himself, the little monster tries glowing eyes, sharp talons, and unpleasant breath, but Ramón is focused on worries about starting at a new school. Instead of becoming frightened, the two form an unexpected friendship. The illustrated chapter book pairs light spookiness with Ramón’s school anxiety and the cucuy’s need for a friend.
