      Grades 3-5 The Ghostly Graphics series (4 titles) provides spooky tales based on real-life incidents, touching on the history that inspired the titular ghouls and haunts. Each work shares the now well-known tales and the accounts that keep them alive through a graphic-novel format that uses invented, speech-balloon dialogue; spare, narrative text boxes; and illustrations that favor action and drama. Even so, a healthy amount of skepticism is maintained, with each noting the facts that likely led to the story's genesis. The Doomed Spirit of La Llorona begins with a survey of figures from Latin American folklore before diving into La Llorona's chilling legend and its potential origins. Each title concludes with bonus historical facts and standard back matter. A series sure to pleasantly creep out and inform readers.
