Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not quite fit in or when they are showing a deep, quiet curiosity about the secrets hidden in the natural world. Set in a 14th century monastery, the story follows Will, an orphan who discovers a wounded hobgoblin and realizes he possesses the rare ability to see the supernatural creatures living alongside humans. It is a slow-burn mystery that rewards patient readers with a rich atmosphere and a profound sense of wonder. While the setting is historical and includes monastic life, the heart of the story is about empathy for the misunderstood. It deals with themes of loneliness and the courage required to protect those who are different. The tone is somber and eerie but ultimately life-affirming, making it a perfect match for middle grade readers who enjoy folklore, ancient mysteries, and stories where kindness is a form of bravery.
