About the Book

A bighearted tale of family, forgotten stories and the search for belonging, from award-winning author Maisie Chan. Perfect for fans of Benjamin Dean, Onjali Raúf and Helen Rutter. 'Truly captivating' Jen Carney 'An absolute delight' Clare Weze 'Tender, funny and heartfelt' Nazima Pathan Nate Yu Riley loves three things: his Switch, his ant farm (especially Betsy, queen of the colony) and his family. He's not so sure about some other things, like moving to a big city, starting a new school, and his mums making him do Chinese stuff. They're always trying to get him to embrace his heritage, but Nate can't speak Chinese, and he doesn't know anything about Chinese customs. So what if an old shell casing engraved with a Chinese dragon turns up in a history exhibition at school - why should he be interested in it? But when Nate touches the shell, someone extraordinary appears. A ghost from long ago. Someone who needs Nate's help - and Nate might just need his, too ...
