About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, like moving to a new city or starting a new school, and needs a reminder that they are not alone in their uncertainty. It is particularly effective for siblings who are struggling to find a balance between their shared identity and their individual strengths. The story follows identical twins Mal and Colm as they discover their new apartment building holds a ghostly secret: a hidden thirteenth floor that exists in a parallel dimension. While the plot is a fast paced supernatural mystery, the heart of the story explores how fear can be managed through teamwork and how curiosity can lead to unexpected bravery. It is perfectly suited for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy a bit of a chill but still want a story grounded in family love. Parents will appreciate how the boys must set aside their rivalry to solve puzzles and protect their family, making it an excellent bridge for conversations about cooperation and adjusting to change.
