Winner of the inaugural Frances Lincoln Diverse Voices Award 2009

A thrilling contemporary adventure wittily shot through with the powerful fantasy stories of the old demons from the Japanese past. Miku knows about the demons from growing up in Japan where her grandmother believed in them and taught her the best way to protect a home against them. Her mother thinks it a load of nonsense which is how she comes to be tricked by a sweet sounding woman who knocks at the door. That’s bad but when Miku gets to school and finds her teacher has been replaced by a demon, Miku knows things are serious. Miku and her friend Cait soon have their courage tested to the limit as they wage war against the demons and snatch Miku’s baby brother to safety.
