The Polar Express is a wonderful Christmas movie for children. It is about finding Christmas spirit. The main characters are taken on a magical train to the North Pole where they are put up against difficult challenges on the way to get there. When they finally make it to the North Pole they are able to discover real Christmas spirit within themselves and the ones around them. I think that this movie is great for young children around Christmas time, or even as a Christmas Eve family movie.

Cemetery Boys is an amazing novel that follows the story of Yadriel, a Latinx, gay, and transgender teenager, as he becomes determined to prove himself as a real brujo to his traditional family. But doing so, he accidentally summons a spirit who just so happens to be the resident “bad boy” at his school and follows Yadriel around. By helping the ghost of his schoolmate, Julian, this would be the perfect opportunity for Yadriel to prove he deserves being a Brujo in his community.
