About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is seeking a sense of agency and enjoys testing their bravery in a safe, controlled environment. It is an ideal pick for readers who may struggle with traditional linear narratives but thrive when given the power to make their own choices. The story places the reader at the center of a supernatural crisis: their house is being haunted by mischievous and malevolent poltergeists, and they must decide whether to trust their friends, seek professional help, or tackle the spirits alone. Beyond the thrills, this book addresses themes of personal responsibility and the frustration of being misunderstood by adults. Because the 'Choose Your Own Adventure' format requires readers to experience the consequences of their decisions, it encourages critical thinking and resilience. While the tone is spooky and suspenseful, it remains firmly within the middle-grade horror genre, making it a perfect 'gateway' book for kids who love Halloween or ghost stories but still value a touch of humor.
