Igawa - The Hungry Ghost

When an ancient, maggot-covered spirit named Igawa escapes from Grandpa Tenna’s sacred story-stick into the modern woods of Ilanta Village, karate-practicing skater Louisa Lee and her cape-wearing best friend, Tina, suddenly find themselves facing far more than schoolyard bullies. With local police weapons failing against a supernatural entity that literally reassembles itself after every hit, the girls must team up with their former rivals—the BMX-riding Biker Bros—to survive a horrifying night trapped in the forest canopy. Blending vivid indigenous folklore with fast-paced middle-grade adventure, Igawa: The Hungry Ghost proves that while ancient legends can be terrifyingly real, true strength comes from empathy, community trust, and standing up for your friends.
