A parent would reach for this book when their child is beginning to ask questions about how the history of their town or family influences the present, or when they need a safe way to explore the feeling of 'lingering' grief. This middle-grade horror story follows a group of friends who discover that their town is haunted by spirits from a past natural disaster. It provides a thrilling, age-appropriate gateway into discussing how communities heal from tragedy and the importance of remembering the past. While the book delivers genuine chills, its core is rooted in the loyalty of friendship and the curiosity required to solve a mystery. It is best suited for children aged 8 to 12 who enjoy spooky atmosphere but are also ready for slightly deeper themes like loss and historical preservation. Parents might choose this book to help a child process 'scary' news from the world by showing that bravery and understanding can overcome even the most haunting shadows.
