Bookroo's summary

Carla lives on a goat farm with her father, Hector. When a goat mysteriously disappears, leaving only a flat outline, whispers of the legendary El Chupacabras arise. But is the fearsome creature truly as terrifying as the tales suggest? In a bilingual adventure, Carla embarks on a journey to discover the truth behind the myth, challenging what she knows and embracing the unexpected. This whimsical tale, told in a unique blend of English and Spanish, invites readers to explore harmony and understanding in a world filled with mystery and folklore.

From the publisher

A long time ago, a girl named Carla lived on a goat farm with her father, Hector. One night, a goat disappeared from the farm and turned up flat as a pancake. Only one creature could do that–El Chupacabras, the goatsucker! Legend has it that El Chupacabras is a fearsome beast, but you can’t believe everything you hear…and sometimes the truth is even more interesting.
