Silly and scary. Reading Interest: 6-10 Cousins Malia, Ivan, and Dante are visiting their Aunt Lucy in fictional Gulf City's Little Mexico neighborhood. They're just getting to know each other and Aunt Lucy suggests they take a trip to the neighborhood water park. They set off and on the way run into a sweet old lady. Or so she seems... when they follow her advice and take a shortcut, they find themselves on 13th street and under attack by monsters, including terrifying (and stinky) giant bats! They work together to save themselves from the bats and get back to the real world, but is 13th street gone forever? Or just waiting for them to wander back and discover more monsters waiting... This is mildly spooky, with a variety of hinted at creatures and a (somewhat) helpful ghost. It was great to see a group of Mexican-American kids (they speak of themselves this way, as does the author) and there are Spanish phrases and other cultural notes mixed into the story. At one point, Dante teases Ivan that he's "not very Mexican" because he doesn't know what chorizo is, and their aunt gently deflects him and Ivan stands up for himself. Black and white illustrations show Malia, a short, plump girl with exuberant hair and accepted as the leader by the boys; Dante, short and cheerful, with an upsweep of brown hair; and Ivan, tall and skinny with a tower of curly brown hair and a little prone to panic. Like other books in the Harper Chapters imprint, there are encouragements to keep reading after every few chapters and some questions at the back. Verdict: Kids looking for mildly scary beginning chapter books will be thrilled with these. If they're past the spooky/silly of easy readers and not ready for James Prellers' Scary Tales or the classic Goosebumps, these are just right. Bonus for portraying Hispanic kids in a humorous/scary adventure!
