Summary:

In an adventure reminiscent of Homer's Odyssey, fifteen-year-old Odilia and her four younger sisters embark on a journey to return a dead man to his family in Mexico, aided by La Llorona, but impeded by a witch, a warlock, chupacabras, and more.
Cuando Odilia y sus cuatro hermanas encuentran un cadáver en un pozo de río, se embarcan en un viaje heroico para devolver al muerto a su familia en México. Pero su regreso a Texas se convierte en una odisea que compite con the epopeya original de Homero.
