Books with title Food for a Hungry Ghost

Life was pleasantly normal for Gala Rhyce—that is, until her mom moved the family to Flagler Beach, Florida. Now—despite the palm trees, ocean breezes, and cute surfer guys—Gala is miserable…until she meets Trista. Trista makes a great friend, except for one thing: she's a ghost. The girls learn to communicate, and through Gala, Trista finds a way to experience the world again. As Gala’s romance with a heartthrob poet begins to bloom, her unlikely friendship with Trista continues—until the ghost wants more than Gala can give, and things start to go horribly wrong. Filled with horror, romance, and humor, Food for a Hungry Ghost is about friendship, trust, jealousy, and boundaries that get pushed too far. How much can Gala endure? Will she survive the clutches of the Hungry Ghost?

Food for a Hungry World is a new title in the Science and Our Future series, a collection of accurate, up-to-date and relevant books on a range of scientific topics for students in Australian secondary schools. Food is a complex and wide-ranging topic. As well as being one of our basic needs for survival, food forms the basis of a major global industry. In some societies, certain foods have particular cultural significance. In different areas, access to food is unequal and people suffer from starvation. Food for a Hungry World looks at all these issues, and examines the importance of food and basic nutrition, and the changes in food production. It suggests that scientific involvement is leading to improvements in the production of food with the development of new technologies, and that we have better understanding of our environment. This book will be useful to students on a range of science and environmental studies course.
