Pahua and the Soul Stealer

An adventurous, fast-paced, action-packed middle grade delight featuring LOTS of spirits and Hmong mythology. Pahua is an 11yo who sees spirits, including her best friend Miv, a cat spirit. Pahua lives with her younger brother Matt and her mom, who works a lot possibly because her dad left them four years ago. Pahua accidentally does something to a spirit and she finds herself on what seems like an impossible quest. Lots of great themes and topics for younger ones, especially around being othered and receiving bigotry as a minority in a majority community, not having a lot of friends, sibling love, feeling lesser than other siblings and having a parent who left.
