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 as it's Hungry Ghost month, when the Gates of the Underworld open and dangerous ghosts 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.
Inspired by Chinese mythology, this dark yet resoundingly hopeful tale about friendship, sacrifice and the unseen world of
ghosts is a dazzling heir to beloved Studio Ghibli classics.
