About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to articulate feelings of isolation, grappling with the weight of family history, or navigating the complexities of a first queer romance. It is particularly resonant for families managing the ripple effects of mental health crises or the fear that comes when a loved one is hurting and unreachable. This lush, haunting graphic novel follows a group of friends searching for a boy who has disappeared after a breakdown, blending a paranormal mystery with a deeply grounded exploration of inherited trauma and emotional healing. While the spooky elements are atmospheric, the heart of the story is about the bravery required to face one's inner demons and the power of community. It is a sophisticated, compassionate choice for teens aged 14 and up who appreciate stories that acknowledge the darkness of life while offering a path toward the light.
