Reach for this book when your child is starting to explore the creepy-cool world of mystery but still needs the safety net of logic and teamwork. It is an ideal bridge for the child who is nervous about strange noises at night or feels anxious during their first sleepovers at older, unfamiliar houses. The story follows siblings who investigate ghostly sightings in an old mansion, only to discover that things are rarely as scary as they seem when you look closer. While the atmosphere is spooky, the underlying message is one of empowerment and rational thinking. It validates a child's fear of the dark while providing the tools to investigate those fears with curiosity rather than panic. It is perfectly pitched for the 7 to 9 age group, offering a chapter book format that feels grown-up without being genuinely traumatizing.
