Hungry Bones

Paranormal Activity meets Mexican Gothic in this chilling middle grade novel about a girl haunted by a hungry ghost.

The last thing Jade remembers from Life is dying. That was over 100 years ago. Ever since then she's been trapped in the house on Charlotte Street watching people move in and out—some generous and willing to share their supper, others ignoring her, leaving her hungry, angry, and alone. To most people she is only a shadow, a ghost story, a superstition.

Then one day the Teng family moves in with their daughter Molly — the quiet girl with the "ghost seeing eyes." For the first time since Life, someone can see Jade and communicate with her. After over a century alone, Jade finally has someone who can help her uncover the secret of her past, and maybe even find a way out of the house—before her hunger destroys them both.
