ReviewsPraise for Hungry Bones: "Spooky and intriguing, with plenty of heart." -- Kirkus Reviews "Hung's debut novel is quirky, heart-filled, funny, and spooky by turns. A delicious story about ghosts and ancestors, hidden history, and being the weird kid at school -- what's not to love?" Sherri L. Smith, author of Pearl "It's not often that a ghost story makes you literally LOL. Hungry Bones is a charming, bone-chilling story full of humor, heart, and forgotten history. Louise Hung's lovable Molly and Jade will make us remember what we owe to the living--and the dead." -- Patricia Park, author of Imposter Syndrome & Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim and What's Eating Jackie Oh?

SynopsisA 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.
