Summary	Reeling from the death of her mother, fourteen-year-old Mati's family leaves England to visit their native Zimbabwe, where Mati finds comfort in Meticais, a gender-neutral spirit or ghost who only she can see, and who helps her navigate her mercurial interpersonal relationships and feelings of grief.
Audience	Ages 13-18. Norton Young Readers.
Summary	Mati's family is reeling from the death of Mati's mother. Her Baba has drawn into himself, her sister Chichi is rebelling, and her young brother Tana is desperate for love and normalcy. When Chichi pulls her worst stunt yet, Baba uproots the family from their home in England for an extended camping holiday in their native Zimbabwe. Along for the trip is Meticais, a fabulously attired gender-neutral spirit-- ghost? imaginary friend?-- who only Mati can see and converse with. Dealing with the difficulty of living between two cultures, Mati must come to terms with her grief, while the family must learn to forge their way in a world without their monumental mother. -- adapted from jacket and Goodreads info
