This story is about two girls who move to California with their family. Once they are in their new neighbourhood they find out that the place is famous for ghost appearances. Catrina and Maya meet their neighbours son, Carlos who gives them a ghost tour. Catrina did not believe much in ghosts but Maya was very excited about the tour. He took them to a famous place in the area called the Mission On Top Of The Hill. Maya was a sickly child and often had breathing problem. During the tour she became sick and had to be taken to the hospital. The girls were told that in this town there was a festival to welcome the dead. The day of the festival, Maya was still sick so Catrina went to the festival with her school friends. There she met actual ghosts and saw everyone interacting with the dead. She even met Carlos’s uncles ghost who had died at a young age. All this was very normal in this town. Catrina did not feel scared. She went home with Carlos and his uncle’s ghost so that Maya could meet the ghost too. They played with the ghost and had lots of fun. Later in the night, they smelt lovely food. Catrina’s parents woke up and asked the girls if they had prepared dinner who were also surprised where the smell was coming from. They went to the kitchen and found lovely meal prepared for them. No one knew who prepared it but in a town where ghost appearing is normal, who would question the surprise preparation of a meal. Everyone enjoyed the meal and had heaps of fun.
