Set in Malaysia’s eastern-most state of Sabah, this delightful spooky story is influenced by the hantu stories told to the sisters, Jacqui and Judith, by their grandmother. By marrying the themes of Sabahan superstition and folktales with the unique memory of their grandmother’s wicked sense of humour, they have managed to create a fun and thrilling story that children will love.
