“Twelve years ago, the boy and the girl lived. But one was supposed to die…”

July Chen sees ghosts. But her dad insists ghosts aren’t real.
So she pretends they don’t exist. Which is incredibly difficult now it’s Hungry Ghost month,
when the Gates of the Underworld open and dangerous ghost run amok in the living world.

When July saves a boy ghost from being devoured by a Hungry Ghost, he becomes her first ever friend.
Except William is not a ghost. he’s a wandering soul wavering between life and death.

As the new friends embark on an adventure to return William to his body, they unearth a ghastly truth – for William to live, July must die.

My daughter and I absolutely loved “Ghost Book”!
It is a thrilling fantasy graphic novel about a girl who befriends a boy ghost stuck between the worlds of the living and the dead.

We learned about “Hungry Ghost” festival and really enjoyed the characters and their adventure!
This is aimed at ages 8-12+ but definitely one to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike!
