The Girl and the Ghost

I am a dark spirit, the ghost announced grandly. I am your inheritance, your grandmother’s legacy. I am yours to command.

Suraya is delighted when her witch grandmother gifts her a pelesit. She names her ghostly companion Pink, and the two quickly become inseparable. But Suraya doesn’t know that pelesits have a dark side — and when Pink’s shadows threaten to consume them both, they must find enough light to survive... before they are both lost to the darkness.

A Malaysian folk tale comes to life in this emotionally layered, chilling middle grade debut that explores jealousy, love, and the extraordinary power of friendship, perfect for fans of Holly Black's Doll Bones and Tracey Baptiste's The Jumbies.

Description

"The author’s middle-grade debut immerses readers in Malaysian culture and food as well as weaving in both Islamic elements and pre-Islamic views of ghosts and death. Though aspects of the novel embrace the disturbing and grotesque (which will delight many readers), its conclusion is grippingly heart-wrenching and speaks to deeper themes of family, trauma, and friendship.... A fascinating, page-turning tale." — Kirkus Reviews
