Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
Winner of 2023 Harvey Award for Best Children's or Young Adult Book

"A gorgeously wrought, therapeutic story filled with tenderness and honesty."-Kirkus, starred review

"Ying gives readers an authentic, layered portrayal of disordered eating in both Val and her mother, sympathetic to each woman but also not letting them off the hook for their own contributions to a fatphobic society obsessed with making body size a moral measuring stick."-Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Ying's soft artwork, colored in pastel pinks and blues, nicely evokes Val's emotional journey through facial expressions and body language."-Booklist

"Hungry Ghost is heartbreaking, hopeful, and frank about figuring out how to love yourself and even the people in your life who might stand in the way of that self-love. It's a beautiful, compelling book." -Trung Le Nguyen, creator of The Magic Fish

"Victoria Ying gives us an unflinching look at eating disorders and loss in this heartbreaking story about learning to love yourself." -Lily Williams, creator of Go With The Flow

"Such a beautiful, tragic, uplifting story about friendship and love. I wish I could have read this when I was a kid, but I'm also grateful that I've read it now. I'll be thinking about its message for a long time." -MariNaomi, creator of Distant Starsmehr
