A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is navigating a major life transition, such as moving to a new city or adjusting to a blended family. It is an ideal pick for a child who feels like an outsider or is struggling with a secret burden they cannot easily share with others. The story follows sixteen-year-old Suze Simon, who has the unique ability to see and communicate with ghosts, a responsibility she often finds exhausting rather than empowering. Set against the backdrop of a sunny California high school, the book explores themes of justice, personal responsibility, and the search for belonging. While it features supernatural elements and some mild peril, the tone is witty and grounded, making it a safe yet engaging choice for middle to older teens who enjoy mystery mixed with humor and a touch of gothic romance.
