Reach for this book when your child is grappling with questions about their own history or feels like they do not quite fit in where they are. While it is a fantastical mystery, it speaks deeply to the emotional need for closure and the courage it takes to discover one's true identity. The story follows Herbert Lemon and Violet Parma as they face their final and most dangerous mystery in Eerie-on-Sea: the truth of their origins. As they outrun podcasters and explore a cursed island, they learn that belonging is not just about where you came from, but who stands by you. It is a perfect choice for 8 to 12 year olds who love spooky atmosphere but need a hopeful, grounded resolution to long-standing anxieties about family and home.
