Storyline
Mary Beth, a museum tour guide, takes a group of school detention students on a secret museum tour, telling them, with wooden figures, the story of a Mexican town called San Angel from the Book of Life, holding every story in the world. They strike a wager: if María marries Manolo, Xibalba will no longer interfere in mortal affairs, but if she marries Joaquín, La Muerte and Xibalba will swap realms.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“The graphic novel is a great form that can be used to marry the book format with the movie.”
