Michiko is eager to try the Ouija board with her friends Kate and Sophia. They summon Kokkuri-san, a Japanese trickster spirit, to answer a few questions about a boy they are crushing on. Michiko only wants to know if her mother’s long illness means she’s going to die. But once summoned, the spirit refuses to leave, warning them of danger over and over. When Michiko’s friends meet with near-fatal accidents on an overnight field trip to the Mojave National Preserve, they blame her for everything that has gone wrong. Their friendship is shattered beyond repair. Can Michiko solve the mystery of these unexplained accidents and the lingering spirit in time, or will she and her friends become targets of the undead? From the award-winning author of The Third Eye, Valley of the Rats, and The Tiffin comes a spine-tingling series of diverse scary stories from around the world. Eerie Tales from the East is perfect for young readers (8-12+) of Goosebumps and ghostly mythology.
