4-6Love Sugar Magic series.
In the second book set in and around the Logroño family's Amor y Azúcar Panaderia bakery, Leonora's friend Caroline tries her own hand at brujería. In so doing she bungles a spell to see her deceased mother, instead summoning spirits from el Otro Lado. A wide-ranging cast tries to send them back; the result is pure slapstick. Meriano smoothly incorporates universal pre-adolescent issues of friendship and family throughout the novel.
