The Girl and the Ghost by Hanna Alkaf

5.0

This book somehow manages to be thoroughly creepy and completely wholesome at the same time. An impressive balance! The pacing also really works... No unnecessarily long and drawn-out scheming/battles, but enough depth to get the reader to care about the characters. It's also the first MG/YA book set in Malaysia that I can ever remember reading, so that was exciting.

This one feels a little under the radar, which is underserved. Read it!
