Sung is just the opposite of the fearful Missy. Sung is a young, brave Chinese man who is scared of nothing. One day he visits a cousin who lives in a distant village. Sung stays all day and his cousin begs him to stay overnight warning him that travelers have vanished on the path leading back to Sung’s hometown. Sung laughs at such fears and heads home anyway. On the way he meets a ferocious looking ghost also going to Sung’s hometown. Sung pretends that he is a ghost and discovers that the warrior ghost is on a quest to kill Sung. Sung must think of a way to trick the ghost before they get to Sung’s hometown. Will he find a way and if so how will he do it? Read The Man Who Tricked a Ghost by Laurence Yep  (Lisa M.
