as you journey with Vampirita, whose life took a hair-raising turn when she bid farewell to the hauntingly enchanting streets of Lima, Peru, and found herself in the sun-drenched confines of Sunny City, California. But don't be fooled, this 'gloom' isn't the kind that's accompanied by chilly air, moldy tombstones, or scurrying cockroaches. It's a whole different, utterly ordinary kind of gloom. In her new abode, you won't find a single creaky floorboard. At school, cricket and worm empanadas have been swapped for, well, rather conventional lunches. And if that's not enough, her next-door neighbors, August and Molly, are annoyingly nice. While her mom hopes for seamless integration, Vampirita yearns for the spirited days in Peru, where she could indulge her passion for tomb excavations with her abuevampiritos. But Vampirita is not one to surrender to mundanity. With her friends reluctantly in tow, she hatches an audacious plan to make her family the talk of the town, complete with pitchforks and torches. The question looms, will her audacious scheme prevail, or will she unearth that Sunny City conceals far more than meets the eye? This is a whimsical, heartwarming tale celebrating unexpected friendships, daring adventures, and the search for a sprinkle of spookiness in the most unlikely places. Accompany Vampirita as she navigates her new life and unravels the supernatural surprises that lurk beneath Sunny City's sunny facade."
