Invitation to the Summer Festival of Bon
In mid-August every year, the Japanese celebrate Obon, a festival during which families welcome home the souls of their ancestors. Little Natchan spends this time with her grandparents and great-aunt, who tell her strange tales of kappa (river imps) and rice fields in the moon. Natchan herself meets the ghost of a boy. Later, we learn that he is actually her ancestor who was killed during World War II. The author skillfully interweaves fantasy with reality to create an intriguing tale. 2020 IBBY very Best Book. <Doi>
