The Girl and the Ghost by Hanna Alkaf

4.0

Suraya's grandmother was a witch and the master of a pelesit - a creature of chaos. When she dies the pelesit is bound to her blood so he passes on to her spirited young granddaughter. Though this creature has the ability to bring grief to her enemies, Suraya is more interested in having him as a friend. But a friendship between a human girl and a creature filled with dark magic is not destined to be smooth and easy. A really terrific middle grade fantasy set in Malaysia. Scary and gory, but also funny and kind. A total winner.
