But when Rafa and his friends decide to take the game out into the real world and steal their school cafeteria's slushie machine, his dad concocts a punishment Rafa never could've imagined--a month working on a ranch in New Mexico, far away from his friends, their game, and his mom's quesitos in Miami. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLife at Rancho Espanto isn't as bad as Rafa initially expected, mostly due to Jennie, a new friend with similarly strong opinions about Cuban and Korean snacks, and Marcus, the veteran barn manager who's not as gruff as he appears. But when Rafa's work at the ranch is inexplicably sabotaged by a man (or a ghost) who may not be what he seems, Rafa and Jennie explore what's behind the strange events at Rancho Espanto--and discover that the greatest mystery may have been with Rafa all along. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e2024 Edgar Allan Poe Award Nominee\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e2025 Rhode Island Middle School Book Award List\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eVermont Golden Dome Book Award List\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrianna Cuevas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374390436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374390433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.81w x 1.03d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e520371 \/ Ghosts of Rancho Espanto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2023 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/27\/2023 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Adrianna Cuevas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070724731135,"sku":"9780374390433","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0554ea6-39f2-4c5a-b098-e0b95cbde5fb.jpg?v=1685431997","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-ghosts-of-rancho-espanto-adrianna-cuevas-9780374390433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
