The Girl and the GhostThe Girl and the Ghost

A Malaysian folk tale comes to life in this emotionally layered, chilling middle grade debut, perfect for fans of The Book of Boy and The Jumbies. 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. Fans of Holly Black’ s Doll Bones and Tahereh Mafi’ s Furthermore series will love this ghostly middle grade debut that explores jealousy, love, and the extraordinary power of friendship.
