Reach for this book if your child feels like an outsider or has been the target of rumors and unkindness. Nina Bawden's classic mystery is a perfect choice for middle-grade readers navigating the complex social dynamics of fitting in and the transformative power of being 'seen' by a true friend for the first time. Set on a rugged Scottish island, the story follows Perdita, a girl shunned as the witch's daughter, who finds an unexpected connection with two visiting siblings, one of whom is blind. While the plot involves a high-stakes mystery with jewel thieves and sea caves, the heart of the book lies in the blossoming of Perdita's self-worth. It is a gentle yet suspenseful exploration of empathy, disability, and the courage it takes to trust others after being hurt.
