About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teen feels the weight of family responsibility or is struggling to find their place in a new, intimidating social environment.

It is an ideal choice for middle or high schoolers who enjoy high stakes mystery and urban fantasy. The book explores themes of accountability and sibling bonds in a way that feels urgent and respectful of a teen's emotional maturity. It is appropriate for ages 11 and up, offering a safe space to explore the anxieties of growing up and standing up for ones family.
