Reach for this book when your child starts expressing that they feel 'different' from their peers or when they are navigating the anxiety of a major life transition, such as moving to a new school. This fast paced mystery follows twins Andrew and Evie as they decode cryptic messages from their missing mother while hiding their own supernatural abilities. It is an ideal pick for middle grade readers who enjoy high stakes puzzles but might be intimidated by denser novels. The story explores themes of intuition, the burden of keeping family secrets, and the bravery required to trust one's own perceptions when the world feels unpredictable. While it deals with a missing parent, the tone is focused on empowerment and problem solving rather than grief, making it a safe yet thrilling choice for 8 to 12 year olds.
