    Two boys, two countries, two cultures, two special days. Alexis will begin his BRAND NEW LIFE in Mexico for the pre-Spanish festival, Day Of The Dead, while Alejandro will travel to Canada, just in time to make preparations for Halloween. Both festive occasions, on the surface, would seem to have much in common, things like ghosts, skeletons, and the dead. But as each boy will learn, the events are really not similar at all. One youngster will experience a day of fun and mischief, while the other experiences a day of spiritual celebration. Both boys now know that learning first hand about another culture creates memories that are sure to last a lifetime. “…so, what are you scared of?”
