The Doomed Spirit of La Llorona

"The Latin American tale of La Llorona strikes fear in the hearts of all who hear it. It begins with a woman who drowns her children in a fit of rage and jealously. It ends with a weeping specter rumored to pull anyone she encounters to a watery grave. Where did the legend of this murderous mother begin? And why is La Llorona doomed to wander the waterways for all eternity? Young readers will find out in this easy-to-read ghostly graphic novel that will send shivers down their spines!"--
