On a bright purple background is the cover of Nice to Eat You. The word "Eat" is written next to the word "Meet," which has been X-ed out. The cover has a pink-faced cat-eye-glasses-wearing old lady holding a platter of cupcakes, the other hand raised in welcome. Behind her, leafless trees with haunted faces scream silently under a crescent moon. Above the cover is the text "Pre-order your signed copy now." Below: "Flying into bookstores on July 7, 2026."

On the cover: Mimi, a smiling Chinese American girl ghost, is next to a white cat, who is side-eyeing three girl ghouls sneering at Mimi. Above: "Mimi doesn't look like the other ghostsβ€”but she wishes she did." Below: "A pun-tacular ghost story."β€”Booklist

Ghosts in sheets? BOO-ring! Check out the haunt couture in #SoNotGhoul. This underworldly tale about Mimi, a Chinese American ghost in bicultural limbo, is brought to life by Chinese-style rituals, Mandarin puns, andβ€”of courseβ€”ghost fashion.
