About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their teenager is struggling to adjust after a family move or feels like an outsider in a close knit community. This atmospheric mystery follows Olly, a young girl transplanted from London to a rural village where the local landscape and its residents hold onto secrets from the past. It is an ideal choice for readers who appreciate slow burning psychological depth and historical echoes that affect the present day. While the story functions as a gripping mystery, its core is about the courage to ask difficult questions and the weight of family history. The emotional landscape deals with isolation and the process of finding one's place in a new environment. Recommended for ages 12 and up, it offers a sophisticated look at how the past is never truly buried and how honesty acts as the only path toward genuine belonging.
