About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to express a mix of curiosity and anxiety about new environments, such as summer camp or a first sleepover. It is especially helpful for kids who feel a pull toward spooky stories but might be intimidated by full-scale horror, providing a safe entry point into the mystery genre. The story follows Tyler and Izzie as they investigate a local legend at Camp Whispering Woods, only to find themselves trapped and needing to work together to solve puzzles. Through the lens of a classic ghost story, the book explores themes of bravery, logic, and peer collaboration. It is perfectly calibrated for the 6 to 8 age range, using a controlled vocabulary that focuses on compound words to build reading confidence. Parents will appreciate how it transforms fear into a problem-solving exercise, helping children see that even the most 'haunted' situations can be managed with a clear head and a good friend.
