Los chicos resultan ser bastante raros, ¡pues son unos fantasmas!

Hasta que todos se dan cuenta de que ¡estos fantasmas son divertidos! Lo malo es que Cheech todavía les tiene un poquitín de miedo. ¿Podrán los Cheecharrones convencerlo para que los fantasmitas se queden? En este libro tan chistoso como tierno, el humor instantáneo de Cheech Marin le da un nuevo giro a la idea de que a veces ser diferente no es tan espantoso.
