Days of the Dead

By the critically acclaimed author of Tyger Tyger, a warm, magical story of a girlâ€™s struggle to keep a promise to her dead mother.

Glorieta Magdalena Davis Espinosa is happy that Papi married Alice. Sheâ€™s happy that he can smile again after years of mourning MamÃ¡. But the urn containing MamÃ¡â€™s ashes disappeared into a drawer the day Alice moved in.

If everything about Glorietaâ€™s life is going to change, then she wants one thing to go her way: She wants to hear stories about her mamÃ¡ when the family gathers on the last night of los DÃas de los Muertos. And that can only happen if Tia Diosonita will allow MamÃ¡ to be buried with the Espinosas in holy ground. If she will allow people to speak MamÃ¡â€™s name.

With the help of her best friend, River, and her cousin Mateo, Glorieta sets out to convince Diosonita that MamÃ¡ is not burning in Hell. To do so, sheâ€™ll have to learn to let hate goâ€”and to love the people who stand in her way.

In prose that sparkles with magical undertones, author Kersten Hamilton weaves a tender story about grief, faith, and the redemptive power of love.
