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 ā€œzapsā€ 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 sheā€™s been trapped in the same house watching people move in and out. Sheā€™s a ā€˜hungry ghostā€™ reliant on the livingsā€™ 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 Jadeā€™s house, nothing will ever be the sameā€”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 houseā€”before her hunger destroys them both.
