Did her parents send her to the Purgatorium to help her or punish her?

After undergoing one bizarre experience after another, the teen gets lost on the haunted side of the island and wonders if her parents meant to help or to punish her. Some readers have compared this young adult psychological thriller by USA Today bestselling author Eva Pohler to Shutter Island and Lost. "Captivating, chilling, and very mysterious. You will find yourself holding your breath. I truly wasn't sure what was going to happen but let's just say it will blow you away!"--Southermermaid85, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "Awesome series!! Could not put the books down!"--Kris MacGillivray, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This story had me in a roller coaster of emotions and worries. I was constantly in edge thinking what will happen? Is this real or part of the therapy. Eva did a wonderful job keeping me on my toes and making my mind work on overdrive. So many references from studies I myself have looked into. I loved!"--Mariela, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This novel was spooky and eerily entertaining. Pohler's phenomenal descriptions of the natural world leave you breathless while her fantastically imaginative storytelling keep you hooked."--Jonel, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "For fans of Eva Pohler's other series The Purgatorium is quite different; there is nothing supernatural here, merely psychological which has the ability to simultaneously unsettle a reader and force you to keep reading. There is a sense of schadenfreude in elements of this series which made me stop and think about at what point does the end justify the means; this is a great takeaway from the books and will leave the reader questioning the ethics of psychology."--Tamara, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin this chilling adventure today!

Aunque no soy un cuenta cuentos natural, como lo era mi abuela, aprendà un poco de ella y me atrevà a escribir, ilustrar y editar de mejor manera sus cuentos, además de escribir los mÃos propios y también incluà algunas leyendas populares. Al final he incluido, también, un glosario y significados de algunos lugares de Nicaragua que aún conservan sus nombres precolombinos. ----------------------------------- CONTENIDO DEL LIBRO Cuentos de Chinandega / Cuentos de: El CadejoLa CarretanaguaLa CeguaEl GritónLos duendes del ChoncoEl MosmoLa MonaProcesión de las ÃnimasEspÃritus burlonesLa historia del ViejoOrÃgenes y descripciones de algunos mitos: Mito del cadejoMito de la carretanaguaCeguas, monas y chanchas brujasLos duendesCuentos del Norte: La MocuanaLa CiguacoatlCuentos de Chontales: El lagarto de oroLos duendes de la piedra de Cuapa.Cuentos de León: El coronel ArrechavalaEl Padre sin cabezaEl punche de oroToma-tu-tetaCuento de Granada: El Barco NegroCuentos de Rivas: Chico Largo del Charco Verde"El Encanto" de Charco VerdeLa Llorona, Los siete negri-tosLa novia de TolaCuentos del Caribe: La mujer pescadoLas cadenas del diabloMis cuentos e historias: La mujer del cementerioPosesión de muñecaEl aparecidoEl duende AluxLos duendes del caminoUna noche oscura...
