About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle grader is a logical, science minded skeptic who might be struggling with the realization that some things in life cannot be easily explained by a formula. It is perfect for children who love a good scare but also possess a deep well of empathy for others. While the story delivers genuine chills, it is ultimately a mystery about honoring the past and finding the courage to help those who have been forgotten. Claire's journey from a rigid scientist to a compassionate investigator offers a wonderful bridge for children who are transitioning into more complex, emotionally resonant horror. It is age appropriate for the 8 to 12 range, balancing spooky atmosphere with strong themes of family and friendship.
