Reach for this book when your child is feeling like an outsider or needs to see that even 'underdogs' can face their fears with a good friend by their side. In this supernatural mystery, young Lewis Barnavelt and his friend Rose Rita investigate a strange house where Hawaiian legends and eerie drumbeats hint at a power beyond their world. It is an ideal pick for children who feel a bit anxious or different, as Lewis is a character who often struggles with self-doubt but ultimately finds his inner strength. While the story delivers spooky thrills and elements of Hawaiian mythology, its core is about the power of loyalty and the courage found through companionship. It is perfectly suited for middle-grade readers who enjoy a 'safe' scare that respects their intelligence and emotional depth.
