Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider after a major life change, such as moving to a new town or starting a new school. It is an ideal choice for the middle-grade reader who craves spooky thrills but also struggles with the loneliness of leaving friends behind and finding their place in a new environment. Ginny is an aspiring writer who is forced to spend her summer in a creepy, dilapidated house in the woods. While she deals with the frustration of her parents' decisions, she discovers a local legend that feels dangerously real. The story masterfully balances eerie suspense with the development of new, supportive friendships. While the atmosphere is genuinely chilling, it remains age-appropriate for the 8 to 12 range, focusing on bravery and the importance of looking past first impressions.
