A collection of short stories with fun and clever modern adaptations of traditional Malaysian mythology and folklore. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes authors such as Gail Carson Levine, Helen Oyeyemi, or Neil Gaiman. My absolute favorites of the collection are “The House of Aunts” and the stories about the dragon dancing ghostbusters.
