Candela y el misterio de la puerta entreabierta

Candela always passes in front of a house covered with vines on her way home from school. The old mansion has been abandoned for so long that it must be concealing some sort of mystery. She has kept her distance, fearfully quickening her pace, but today a disturbing detail has called her attention: the glass door to the first-floor balcony is ajar. And if that isn’t enough, she also seems to hear a whispering voice. Is there someone in the house? Curiosity can be more powerful than fear, and Candela obeys her instinct and crosses the threshold to find out who—or what—is hiding within.
