The Legend of La Dentista is a lie. Probably.

Everyone in Carolina’s town knows the Legend of La Dentista is just a story invented to scare children into brushing their teeth.

Everyone except Carolina.

She’s convinced something much darker is happening on the island. La casa de La Dentista is a 114-page, full-color Spanish graphic novel filled with mystery, suspense, humor, and just enough horror to keep beginning Spanish students turning the page.

Inside the book

A Spanish reader that doesn’t feel like assigned reading.

La casa de La Dentista was created to be accessible to beginning Spanish students without feeling like a simplified classroom reader. At 114 full-color pages, it’s a real graphic novel with mystery, humor, horror, and a story designed to make students want to keep reading.

The illustrations provide visual context throughout, while a Spanish-to-English glossary at the back of the book gives students extra vocabulary support when they need it.

About the story

Why does everyone keep telling Carolina to brush her teeth?

On Carolina’s island, the adults have one rule for teenagers: brush your teeth six times a day.

They say that if you don’t, La Dentista will come for you.

Carolina isn’t sure she believes them. But there’s something else she can’t ignore:

None of the adults on the island have any teeth.

As Carolina begins asking questions, she discovers that the adults may be hiding something much stranger, and much more dangerous, than an old legend.

Talent from across the Americas

A real graphic novel, made by professional creators.

La casa de La Dentista was created by an international team of professional comic creators. From writing and illustration to coloring and lettering, every part of the book was handled by specialists in their craft.
