Graphic displaying a gradient of grey to black in the background. At the top of the graphic is white text that says, “Out Today” followed by a mock-up book cover for “Songs for Ghosts” by Clara Kumagai, a new young adult book published by Abrams Books. The cover illustration shows a haunting figure of a pale ghost dressed in traditional Japanese garb. Their head and torso are only visible from the nose down and there are hundreds of fine fly-away hairs protruding outwards like spiderwebs. Graphic displaying a gradient of grey to black in the background. Book description: This genre-bending YA novel follows a boy who finds a century-old diary written by a young woman in Nagasaki, Japan — and becomes haunted by her vengeful spirit. When Adam discovers a diary in his attic, he is enthralled by its account of a young woman's life in Nagasaki. A hundred years separate them, yet like Adam, she is caught between cultures, relationships, and heartbreak. She also writes of the ghosts that have begun to seek her out, which Adam dismisses as fantasy—until he begins to be haunted by her terrifying spirit. Unravelling the mystery of her identity—and the wrong done to her—seems to be the only way to save himself. This leads Adam to a home stay in Nagasaki, where he begins to reconnect to his heritage not only through Japanese language and culture, but also by connecting with long-lost family members. And then begins a race against time as Adam and his new crush, Jo, attempt to untangle a story that has rippled through generations . . .

#SongsForGhosts by @clarakiyoko.bsky.social has so much happening; love, death, family, ghosts, identity, history, regret and remembrance. It's beautiful, thoughtful, complex and will stay with you for a long time.

Thanks to @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social and @youthlibrarygroup.bsky.social
The cover colour palette is lilac and purple with pink billowing clouds and small white butterflies set against a strong red background. A young girl dressed in a light purple kimono and with hair tied into a traditional style is seen from the waist up at the bottom of the image, she is holding a traditional musical instrument. Pink clouds raise either side of her and a large lilac chrysanthemum grows out of this on either side. The girl has a serene and thoughtful expression, looking over your right shoulder. The edges have been decorated with a blue and purple colour, with chrysanthemums and butterflies.
