Book Review

I like this book because the pictures are big and there isn’t much text on each page, so it didn’t take long to read

This is picture book for readers aged 6 years +

There’s a party tonight, but Cala doesn’t want to go. While her family prepares for the celebration, Cala grieves her grandfather and tries to pretend she’s not afraid.

But when she is separated from her family at the cemetery, Cala encounters four mysterious riders who will show her she is actually quite brave after all.
