About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the transition from childhood safety to independent responsibility, particularly if they are struggling with the fear of being believed or the weight of a secret. It serves as a classic developmental mirror for the middle-schooler who feels their voice may not be taken seriously by the adult world. The story follows a young boy who accidentally witnesses a crime and finds himself in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Beyond the suspenseful plot, the book explores deep themes of self-reliance, the courage required to stand by the truth when others doubt you, and the resilience needed to face danger alone. It is an excellent choice for building confidence in children who need to see that their inner strength can overcome external threats.
