A parent would reach for this book when their child is beginning to realize that the world can be a scary or unpredictable place, or when a family is navigating the loss of a loved one. It is especially resonant for children who feel small in a world of powerful adults, offering a unique perspective on finding agency even when things dont go back to the way they were. This classic dark fantasy follows a young boy and his wise grandmother as they face a secret society of child-hating witches. While the premise is spooky, the core of the story is the unbreakable bond between a child and their caregiver. It explores themes of bravery, resilience, and the idea that being different (or even being a mouse) doesnt stop you from being a hero. It is best suited for children ages 7 to 12 who enjoy a mix of humor and mild horror.
