Reach for this book when your child is craving a spooky, atmospheric mystery that feels more like a classic Victorian ghost story than a modern thriller. It is perfect for children who feel like outsiders or who find solace in old books, rainy days, and solving puzzles. Aveline Jones is a relatable protagonist who must stay with an aunt in a foggy seaside town, where she discovers a cold case involving a missing girl from thirty years ago. While the book explores themes of isolation and the lingering effects of the past, it remains grounded in Aveline's growing bravery. It is an excellent choice for kids aged 9 to 12 who want a 'chiller' that respects their intelligence and emotional maturity without being excessively graphic.
