Reach for this book when your child is grappling with their own sense of identity or expressing a deep curiosity about family secrets and the 'unseen' history of their parents. It is particularly effective for middle-schoolers who feel like outsiders and are looking for a story that validates their feeling that there is more to the world (and their family) than meets the eye. In this atmospheric sequel, Jonathan returns to the shadowy world of Darkside to solve the disappearance of a friend and uncover the truth about his long-lost mother. The story explores themes of bravery, the complexity of family legacies, and the moral choices we make when faced with power. While it is a dark urban fantasy, it provides a safe space for children to explore fears of abandonment and the empowering process of reclaiming one's history. It is best suited for ages 9 to 13 who enjoy a touch of the macabre.
