Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the friction of a new blended family or feels like an outsider in their own home. It is a perfect choice for the middle-grade reader who processes anxiety through spooky stories, using a ghostly mystery to mirror the very real fears of change and rejection. Hannah is forced to navigate a move, a missing pet, and a hostile stepsister, all while living next to a creepy cemetery. As she investigates strange scratching at her door, the story validates the feeling that one's new life can feel unrecognizable and even a little bit scary. The book uses a light horror framework to explore sibling rivalry and the search for belonging, making it an engaging read for children aged 8 to 12 who need to see their own domestic frustrations reflected in a high-stakes, supernatural setting.
