The Jazz Age is in full swing, but Casiopea Tun is too busy cleaning the floors of her wealthy grandfather's house to listen to any fast tunes. Nevertheless, she dreams of a life far from her dusty small town in southern Mexico. A life she can call her own.
Yet this new life seems as distant as the stars, until the day she finds a curious wooden box in her grandfather's room. She opens it—and accidentally frees the spirit of the Mayan god of death, who requests her help in recovering his throne from his treacherous brother. Failure will mean Casiopea's demise, but…

      Should you do that? Drive with one hand?” she asked, alarmed.

      “I’m a demon, remember? Don’t worry,” he replied, tipping his head back.

      “I know you’re a demon. That’s why I’m worried.”

      “Oh, small potatoes. I won’t steal your soul, promise.”

        …want to go to New Orleans or Quebec?”

        “I don’t know if I want to make up my mind now,” Casiopea said.

        “Take it from me. Now is always the answer. Besides, do you have anything better to do? Mope around for a decade or two?”

          Why would you take me with you?” she asked.

          “For a lark. Also, I can’t read a map to save my life. Can you read maps?”

          “Of course,” she said. She had spent enough time contemplating Grandfather’s atlas and tracing routes with her fingertips.

          “Good. I have no sense of direction.”
