The pacing provides an engaging rotation between action-packed thrills, emotional confrontations, and cosy holiday scenes’ * School Library Journal, starred review *
‘the tone of this sequel is very different from the first-but it truly does the story justice. Cemetery Boys fans will not be disappointed by this addition to the world of the graveyard gays’ * Booklist, starred review *
‘This paranormal mystery centering on Latine characters delves into themes of family, love, grief, and trauma … A richly thematic and suspenseful mystery’ * Kirkus *
‘Thomas’s sequel is once again packed with chilling, action-packed scenes as it examines the depths of secrets families will keep in order to protect one another’ * Horn Book *
‘A beautifully haunting story about found family, grief, and loving who you are. Espíritu is a portal to a magical world that will heal your broken heart’ – Dustin Thao, #1 New York Times Bestseller of You’ve Reached Sam
‘Espíritu is a love letter to belonging, to family, and to the messy, magical work of figuring out who you are when the world keeps changing around you.
