Goodreads synopsis:
Melanie Tamaki is human—but her parents aren’t. They are from Half World, a Limbo between our world and the afterlife, and her father is still there. When her mother disappears, Melanie must follow her to Half World—and neither of them may return alive. Imagine Coraline as filmed by the Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki (Howl’s Moving Castle), or Neil Gaiman collaborating with Charles de Lint. Half World is vivid, visceral, unforgettable, a combination of prose and images that will haunt you.
I heard about this book through Jason at theheavyblanks and Colleen at littleghostcreations (both on YouTube). I have been wanting to check this one out for a while now, as I have been wanting to check out more Asian authors. I have heard amazing things about this one. I already bought the second book but I cannot seem to find the first one anywhere!
Have you read this book? If you have, what did you think of it?
