Reach for this book when your child starts expressing that a situation or person feels 'off' even though adults seem unconcerned. This story validates a child's intuition and explores the heavy weight of being the only one who sees a looming threat. It is a perfect choice for middle grade readers who enjoy suspenseful mysteries and are beginning to navigate the complexities of protecting those they love. Lynn and her friend Mouse become convinced that their neighbor, Mrs. Tuggle, is a witch with a dark influence over Lynn's mother. As the adults dismiss their fears as overactive imaginations, the girls must rely on their own courage and loyalty to find proof and save their family. While it deals with dark magic and psychological tension, the core of the book is about the bond of friendship and the transition from childhood innocence to a more watchful, protective maturity.
