A parent would reach for this book when their teen is beginning to explore their queer identity and craves stories where LGBTQ plus characters are the heroes of high stakes adventures rather than just coming out narratives. This collection features two supernatural mysteries set in the nostalgic 1980s and 1990s, following girls who encounter ghosts and eerie small town legends. While the spine tingling plots provide plenty of thrills, the core of the book focuses on finding one's tribe and the bravery required to trust your own perception when others doubt you.

The emotional landscape deals with belonging and the unique loneliness of feeling different, making it an empowering read for high schoolers.
