Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the profound anxiety that comes from a family member's serious illness, or when they feel a desperate, heavy need to 'fix' things that are beyond their control. Set in an atmospheric, slightly uncanny Paris, the story follows Maya as she discovers a magical cabinet that promises eternal life, but at a terrible price. Through this high-stakes fantasy lens, the book explores the seductive yet dangerous wish to freeze time and stop the progression of sickness. It is a sophisticated choice for middle-grade readers who appreciate a touch of the macabre and need a safe way to process the complex emotions of fear, loyalty, and the eventual necessity of letting go. It balances spooky mystery with a deep, grounded heart.
