And Charlie\'s about to learn the truth of that--the hard way ..
As Charlie and Violet are drawn deeper into a world of monstruos and magia they are soon left with more questions than answers--like, why do they keep hearing rumors of dead men walking, and why is Charlie suddenly having visions of an ancient evil: a necromancer priest who\'s been dead for more than five centuries? Charlie\'s abuela once told him that when dead men walk, the living run in fear.
Determined to save the queen and keep La Liga \'s alliances intact, Charlie and his good friend Violet Rey embark on a perilous journey to track down her captors.
And when the leader of La Liga , the Witch Queen Jo herself, is suddenly kidnapped, Charlie\'s sure they\'re at it again.

But what\'s normal about being a demon-slaying preteen with an encyclopedic knowledge of Latino mythology who can partially manifest nearly any animal trait found in nature? Well, not much.
