A GOOD DAUGHTER’S GHOST
Sam Wilket (Annick Press, 2026)
ONE OF INDIGO’S BEST TEEN BOOKS, 2026
The life you long for may be the one that destroys you.
Sixteen-year-old Rachel Bei comes from a family of mediums and spiritual practitioners—and she could not care less. Rachel isn’t just a skeptic; she’s embarrassed by her mom’s beliefs. But when a seemingly perfect babysitting gig turns creepy, then gruesome, she’s forced to reconsider.
Drawing on Chinese folklore, this darkly immersive novel confronts family secrets, the audacity of whiteness, and the ghosts we carry with us.
