Nestor would love to be able to unpack all of his things and live in own place for more than a few months. He'd love to just have dinner with his dad. But dad is in the military, and for the first time, he and his mom are no longer living on a military base. They have moved into dad's hometown and are living with Nestor's grandmother.
Nestor plans to lay low. He definitely doesn’t want to anyone find out his deepest secret: that he can talk to animals. But Nestor does get involved in his new home. He joins a quiz bowl team at school and makes friends with his teammates and when the animals start disappearing, he starts to investigate. The neighbors suspect Nestor's grandmother. Nestor suspects a bully who is also on the quiz bowl team, and begins investigating the woods where they disappeared, he discovers that they are being seized by a tule vieja―a witch who can absorb an animal’s powers by biting it during a solar eclipse. And the next eclipse is just around the corner. Can he and his friends do anything to stop it?
