Full of heart, mystery, and misadventures, this is crazy fun from start to finish’ – Douglas Westerbeke, author of A Short Walk Through a Wide World

It’s sure to be an instant hit’ – Poppy Kuroki, author of Gate to Kagoshima

‘What a delight-I haven’t enjoyed an adventure this much in years. Great fun, completely immersive and bursting with characters who leap off the page. A debut as impressive as Miss Cassidy herself!’ – Amie Kaufman, author of the NY Times bestseller The Other Side of the Sky

‘The Formidable Miss Cassidy is a page-turner, exuding the daylight smells and colours, and the cicada-singing nights, of Old Singapore. The borders between the real and mythological realms are presented as porous veils, featuring local ghosts and familiars such as the pontianak and toyol on the same canvas as Scylla and the fay. At the centre of the magic, mystery and mischief, Miss Cassidy delights’ – Nuraliah Norasid, award-winning author of The Gatekeeper‘Quirky, charming and with a gorgeous heart of gold, The Formidable Miss Cassidy is a feminist tale, ghost story and period piece wrapped up in one fascinating book I simply could not put down’ – Suffian Hakim, bestselling author of The Keepers of Stories
