Ever since then shes been trapped in the same house watching people move in and out. Shes 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 Jades house, nothing will ever be the samefor 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 housebefore her hunger destroys them both.

Reviews

Praise 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
