Seis amigos, una enigmática abuela y un temido inspector escolar son los protagonistas de un relato en el que muertos y vivos dialogan para resolver los asuntos pendientes.

Alicia quedó en medio de una pelea entre sus amigas, al volver a casa solo encontrará a su mamá, pues su papá ya no vive con ellas, y por si fuera poco, ¡hasta la tarea se le olvidó!

From the acclaimed author-illustrator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost comes a charmingly spooky celebration of difference sure to resonate with parents and children alike. Vlad is a vampire with the misfortune of having rosy cheeks that—gasp!—make him look abysmally alive. But being the fabulous vampire that he is (and hoping to avoid rejection), he hides his rosy complexion behind elaborate vampire outfits in traditional black.

Talking flowers and a horseman who lives by falling off his horse and who invents useless things are some of the strange and incredible characters that Alice will meet on her way to the coronation.
