About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or is struggling to find their footing after a major family transition. Romy Bright has moved to a small town where her family history is shrouded in secrets and local legends. As Romy investigates the mystery of her own name and the 'ghost' that seems to haunt her family's past, she learns that belonging is often about understanding where we come from. This atmospheric story is perfect for middle schoolers (ages 10 to 14) who appreciate a blend of realistic family dynamics and a hint of the supernatural. It encourages children to be curious about their heritage and validates the feeling of being the odd one out while providing a hopeful path toward self-acceptance.
