Description
Mei Ling Pang was born at an inauspicious time on an inauspicious day, so wherever she goes, misfortune follows. When Little Jiang hops out of his grave and into Mei's life, fangs and all, her luck goes from bad to worse. But in trying to help Little Jiang, Mei might just make her own future brighter.
Review
All that Mei wants to do is find a friend and help her parent’s struggling Chinese restaurant. But Mei has always been told that she brings misfortune. Could this really be true, and that everything bad that has happened in their life is her fault?
When she awakens Little Jiang from her nasty neighbour’s grave yard things don’t get any better for Mei! In fact, what follows is a ghostly and supernatural story, full of Chinese legends and folklore.
The Jiangshis have overtaken her town. But with the help of the Peony Princess and the Bagua Master, can Mei save her town and her family too?
This is a fantastic, imaginative story, that also has themes of friendship, family and belonging. It will be enjoyed by all students from Year 3 and up.
