Tales from Cabin 23: The Boo Hag Flex

After her mother dies, twelve-year-old Tasha Washington goes to live with the father she has never met, and she spends much of her time with her grandmother at a trailer park in Georgia. Soon a string of mysterious deaths strikes the community, and Tasha begins to suspect a boo hag, a creature from folklore that wears human skin and drains people's souls. With her grandmother and neighbors in danger, Tasha decides she has to stop it herself. Justina Ireland's spooky middle grade novel launches Tales from Cabin 23, a horror series in which each book is written by a different author, and balances its chills with a story about grief and finding family.
