NOTES

Read by Emily Woo Zeller, Su Ling Chan

A chilling middle grade novel about a girl haunted by a hungry ghost. Molly Teng sees things no one else can. By touching the belongings of people who have died, she gets brief glimpses into the lives they lived. Sometimes the "zaps" are funny or random, but often they leave her feeling sad, drained, and lonely. The last thing Jade remembers from life is dying. That was over one hundred years ago. Ever since then she's been trapped in the same house watching people move in and out. She's a 'hungry ghost' reliant on the livings' food scraps to survive. To most people she is only a shadow, a ghost story, a superstition. Molly is not most people. When she moves into Jade's house, nothing will ever be the same-for either of them. After over a century alone, Jade might finally have someone who can help her uncover the secrets of her past, and maybe even find a way out of the house-before her hunger destroys them both. Louise Hung is a writer living in Brooklyn, New York. She is the writer/producer of hundreds of videos for the YouTube channel Ask a Mortician and wrote the "Creepy Corner" column for xoJane (RIP). You can find more of Louise's work at HuffPost, The Order of the Good Death, Time, and the podcast Death in the Afternoon. Louise spends her days with four black cats, her husband, and an immortal cactus
