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.
