The Formidable Miss Cassidy

By Meihan Boey.

In the 1890s in Singapore, the formidable Miss Leda Cassidy arrives as the paid companion to Sarah Jane Bendemeer. The Bendemeer family is under the ominous influence of Southeast Asia's most terrifying hantu. However, Miss Cassidy is not just an ordinary companion; she has faced more formidable challenges in her life than a mere banana-tree ghoul.

As she navigates her new role, Miss Cassidy encounters the indefatigable businessman, Mr. Kay Wing Tong. His large and ever-expanding family is in clear need of female supervision, especially of the unique kind that Miss Cassidy can provide. Strange occurrences and ill omens surround Mr. Kay and his vibrant family, posing a challenge that even Miss Cassidy may find formidable. Now, she must find a way to protect the ones she has grown to care for amidst the mysterious happenings that threaten them.

This is a great fantasy book with an educational aspect of the culture and lifestyles of people from Singapore.
