About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager feels isolated by a unique talent or a secret part of themselves that they fear others will judge. It is an ideal choice for the adolescent who feels like an outsider and is looking for a story that validates the difficulty of navigating two different worlds, whether those worlds are literal or metaphorical. The story follows Miranda Barnes, a girl whose ability to speak with spirits leads her into a dangerous supernatural mystery that tests her courage and her heart. While the plot is a fast-paced paranormal thriller, the heart of the book explores themes of self-confidence, identity, and the heavy burden of being different. It is age-appropriate for middle and high schoolers who enjoy spooky mysteries with a romantic edge. Parents will appreciate how it frames 'being different' not as a curse, but as a source of strength that requires bravery and discernment to master.
