About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the weight of unfinished business, the grief of losing a loved one, or the anxiety of leaving things unsaid. While framed as a ghostly mystery, it is at its heart a therapeutic exploration of how we process secrets and find the courage to face the things that haunt us, whether those things are literal spirits or metaphorical regrets. Lina Morreau's journey through Hartwell House serves as a safe, fictional space for teens to examine their own fears about truth and integrity. It is an emotionally resonant choice for families navigating the 'growing up' years where the past and the future often collide. The story handles themes of death and legacy with a hopeful, secular lens, making it appropriate for readers aged 12 and up who enjoy atmospheric, slightly spooky narratives that prioritize emotional resolution over jump scares.
