A group of kids enter a cave, hear a voice, and creep towards the spot where two passages cross. There they discover the silhouette of an opalescent figure with its back to them, leaving them frozen. The story combines fear of the unknown with a mystery adventure.

Suitable for readers aged 9 to 12 and for Spanish students from fourth to sixth grade who want to practise reading.
Miguel Sánchez (1594–1674) was a Novohispanic priest, writer and theologian. He is most renowned as the author of the 1648 publication Image of the Virgin Mary Mother of God of Guadalupe, a description and theological interpretation of an apparition to Juan Diego of the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Guadalupe which is the first published narrative of the event. The precise nature of the cult before that date and whether the tradition as to the apparition dates back to 1531, constitute a vexed historical problem. The existence of a cult of the Virgin Mary at a chapel at Tepeyac, focussed on a painted cult image of the Virgin and enjoying a reputation for miraculous healing, was certainly established by 1556. Professor Brading, a scholar of Mexican history, noted of Sánchez: "even if he did not initiate the devotion, he determined the manner in which the image was exalted and justified."
