About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the anxiety of a lost item or needs a boost of confidence to face a place that feels a little too 'spooky.' It is a gentle entry point for children who feel a sense of dread about making mistakes or entering unfamiliar spaces. The story follows Hena, who misplaces her bag in a supposedly haunted alley. Fearing her mother's reaction, she enlists Lella and her detective gang to help. This mystery focuses on the power of friendship and teamwork to demystify fears. It transitions from the heavy weight of 'being in trouble' to the empowering feeling of taking action with peers. Perfect for beginner readers aged 5 to 8, the large print and colorful illustrations make it an accessible tool for building bravery and teaching kids that they do not have to face their worries alone.
