About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the isolation of being different or the unsettling feeling of returning to a childhood place that no longer feels safe or familiar. In this atmospheric mystery, a teen returns to Black Point and discovers that the local legends and eerie shadows are more than just stories. It is a haunting exploration of belonging and the bravery required to face the things we would rather keep buried. While it fits firmly in the horror and mystery genres, it serves as a profound metaphor for the internal anxieties of growing up and the loneliness of carrying secrets. It is ideal for older middle schoolers and high school students who appreciate a story that balances spooky thrills with deep emotional resonance, offering a safe space to discuss fear and the power of uncovering one's own truth.
