Narrator Rogelio Ramos provides authentic Latin flavor to a tale of a cat-and-mouse twosome who, assisted by cockroaches and many other friends, set out to find a missing brother. With thoughts of the folkloric CHANEQUE--creatures who entice unsuspecting children with music--fueling their imagination, will they be brave enough to enter a haunted house? Spanish words roll easily off Ramos's tongue and fit seamlessly into the narration. Listeners may need to fast-forward to the glossary that concludes the production, as precise meanings will enrich the plot. Ramos narrates at a steady clip and uses inflections and pauses to heighten suspense and underscore humor. A.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2018]
