Not that I didn't notice before. How we have to go along quiet. Can't say anything bad about...her.

Can't tell her who we are.

Or that I read well.

That's how Mama always says it. That I'm "too smart", 'course that was only when her and Papa were talking alone.

Still...I must have did something wrong.

Papa
Isn't here for this Dia de los Muertos.

Well, I guess he's more so, but in the bad way.

I left a book out, on a bench outside our house, and forgot it when Mama called me in. Not a dangrus book, not one of Abuelo's magic ones, but one of his.
Papa was asked to the castle, and nothing good every comes a' that.

Now he's not here and Mama's more worried. 'Bout me too I think.

She says her taking Papa was a "warning". I don't know of what.

I know it's bad. After this s'pecly but
If it really is going to be so bad I'm gonna keep readin Abuelo's books.
I might need stuff in it later and if she tries to take Naomi or any of my other classmates dads too!
