I am so grateful to everyone who’s endured my DMing, countless drafts, and long phone calls. None of this would have been possible without you. Thanks to my agent Larissa Melo Pienkowski, my editor, Tiara, and all my patient friends. I hope you will love what PAPER GHOSTS has in store for you.

I am so delighted to return to Penang in this book! The characters in this are so sassy and I adore them so much. On deck: ghosts, shenanigans, and more ghost-punching.

Prodigal Tiger has and always will be a love letter to my hometown, but also the idea of home, complicated as it feels once you leave and come back. I hope you see something of yourself in Caroline and her friends ❤️

Hi! I'm Samantha Chong, a Malaysian fiction writer. My Malaysian YA fantasy debut PRODIGAL TIGER follows Caroline Chua, a young witch who returns home to Penang, Malaysia, to find her missing brother, only to realise that if she wants to him back, she's going to have to fight more than a few ghosts.

breaking news! PRODIGAL TIGER is "Read Now" on NetGalley currently, which means that you can request it without needing approval! I'm not sure how long the window is open, but if you wanted to dive into a world of monsters and magic, This Is Your Moment. I hope you enjoy Caroline's shenanigans!
