Reach for this book when your child starts expressing deep suspicion or anxiety about the motives of those around them, especially if they are navigating a difficult patch of sibling rivalry. It is a masterclass in building psychological tension and explores how imagination and fear can blur the lines between reality and suspicion. The story follows Lynn, a young girl convinced her older sister is training to be a witch under the tutelage of a sinister neighbor. While the 'spooky' elements are prominent, the book is truly about the vulnerability children feel when they believe the adults in charge are unaware of a lurking danger. It is appropriate for middle grade readers who enjoy a good chill but also need to process feelings of distrust and the importance of seeking help when things feel out of control.
