Pura Belpré Award–winning author Yamile Saied Méndez spins a tale of a boy who moves to a small town only to discover a chilling secret hidden just under its surface in the third book in the hit Tales from Cabin 23 series.
Welcome to Cabin 23: A cursed place, deep in the woods, where only the most TERRIFYING TALES can be heard…
When Gen Farías’s brother, Lorenzo, is arrested, everything changes. Gen’s neighbors look at him and his family with suspicion, his parents are distraught, and no one will tell Gen what’s happening. But the worst part is what only Gen knows: It’s all his fault. If he hadn’t forgotten to leave their bedroom window unlatched the night of Lorenzo’s arrest, maybe his brother would have never been caught. Guilt haunts Gen—guilt, and a terrifying shadow that crouches each night on the tree branch outside his window, watching him with penetrating eyes.
Gen’s parents decide to move to Los Astros, a beautiful village nestled in the mountains, to try to regain some sense of normalcy. But Los Astros, Gen soon discovers, is no ordinary town. There are creepy wicker figures on every lawn and strange stories of children who go missing. Beneath its idyllic façade, Los Astros has a secret—one Gen must uncover if he doesn’t want to go missing himself.
