You would reach for this book when your child is caught in a cycle of 'getting even' with a sibling and needs a humorous, slightly spooky way to see how holding onto resentment can lead to unintended consequences. It is a perfect fit for the child who feels constantly overshadowed or bullied by an older brother or sister. The story follows Wade, who is tired of his sister Mickey's mean pranks and seeks out a mysterious shop called Revenge R Us to buy a supernatural 'fix.' As the magic spirals out of control, the story explores the dark side of jealousy and the realization that revenge rarely feels as good as we imagine. While it is a classic Goosebumps-style horror, it serves as an excellent cautionary tale about the pitfalls of sibling rivalry for children ages 8 to 12. It provides a safe, fantastical space to discuss why we lash out and how to find healthier ways to handle family conflict.
