Hungry Ghost

April 25

A young woman with straight dark hair is holding many red flowers in her hands. Her ribs are visible and her skin in transparent so you can also see flowers within her body behind her ribs. Hungry Ghost by Victoria Ying
First Second

A beautiful and heart-wrenching young adult graphic novel takes a look at eating disorders, family dynamics, and ultimately, a journey to self-love.

Valerie Chu is quiet, studious, and above all, thin. No one, not even her best friend Jordan, knows that she has been binging and purging for years. But when tragedy strikes, Val finds herself taking a good, hard look at her priorities, her choices, and her own body. The path to happiness may lead her away from her hometown and her mother’s toxic projections—but first she will have to find the strength to seek help. — Cover image and summary via Goodreads
