Eleven-year-old Alejandro can't catch a break. Placed with demanding foster parents and stuck in yet another new school, he's lucky if he can stay out of trouble long enough to hear his friends' silly ghost stories at recess.
Not that his friends are any help. When the janitor confiscates their electronics, they convince Alejandro to sneak to the basement office to get their belongings. But instead of their things, he discovers something else: a glowing coin hidden under an old shelf, long forgotten.
With the help of his pet hedgehog, Alejandro retrieves the coin, and when he tries to clean it, he does more than remove dirt-he releases the spirit of an old man, one with a magical gift that could solve all of Alejandro's problems.
Maybe the ghost stories weren't so silly after all.
