Vincent Ventura, monster fighter extraordinaire, wakes up in the middle of the night to see an odd sight: a school bus with five kids at the house across the street. More alarming is the ghost train about to plow into it! Both the bus and the train disappear upon what should have been impact, but one boy remains in the driveway and he's looking directly at Vincent with a sign that says, "Help us." And then Vincent sees a hooded figure with glowing red eyes holding a wiggling burlap sack. At school the next day, Vincent's cousin Michelle recommends a trip to the library--as usual--to research the mystery. They learn the disturbing demon is known as a cucuy in Latin America; some people call it a coco or chaneque. With help from the librarian, the kids find a newspaper dated December 2, 1958, which carries the story of a bus hit by a train. It turns out the haunted train tracks are quite well-known in the area, and other people have seen the same boy Vincent saw. The mysterious child seems to be harmless, but the red-eyed figure in a hood is a different story. Legend has it that el cucuy stuffs children into a burlap bag--and then eats their souls! Soon, a plan to save the five children and capture the evil spirit is created and put into place. Unfortunately, things don't go as expected and the monster fighters will have to use all their skills to get out alive! This seventh volume in Garza's acclaimed, bilingual Monster Fighter Mystery series contains the author's black and white illustrations of the creepy creature and will once again thrill his young fans, all while sharing Latino folklore.
