Gente, quem disse que literatura Infantojuvenil é somente para crianças? Amei este livro! A Malaysia é um grande mistério para mim, quase nada sei sobre este país. Não posso dizer que aprendi muito, mas é sempre gostoso ler sobre mitos e lendas de outros povos. O final me emocionou muito. Maravilhoso.

This was a beautiful but haunting story about friendship and grief. I would say I loved this, but the setting confused me. At times it felt like an old village in Malaysia, and other times it felt like they were just in NYC watching star wars and friends. The mix of modern and very olden settings really brought me out of the story at times, but the story itself was beautiful.

Excellent. I was a little worried for her, but it was excellent.

The book The girl and the ghost was very interesting and it was about a girl Suraya and a ghost named pink. pink was a "gift from Suraya's grandma to watch-over her. but pink gets very attached overtime and creates the main conflict in the book. I thought the book had a good hook and in the beginning was very interesting, but I felt like when I continued to read through the middle there was a lot of filler events. things that did not matter to the plot and I found myself not as interested as I was than when I started the book. I felt the book could have been better with out these side tracked things and that's why I gave it a 4.

This is a great story. Granted, I am not the target reader for this, but I would have really loved this as an early teen. On top of it being cute and sweet, it is told through a cultural perspective I hadn't had the honor of reading in before.
