About the Book

Readers will gobble up this fun-filled tale of a crafty youngster's hilarious efforts to avoid the cooking pot.

Begin with one hungry ghost. Add a plump, delicious-looking boy. Sprinkle in some Chinese folklore and a healthy dash of humor. Now sink your teeth into an exciting story about a ghost eager for his next meal—and a boy who must think fast if he doesn't want to get turned into dumplings. Includes a recipe for (nonboy) dumplings.
