Description
Twelve-year-old Asia's world is turned upside down by family secrets and ghostly encounters.
Quick Summary
If you're looking for a middle-grade read that balances spooky mystery with real family feelings, Asia's story hits just the right notes. Twelve-year-old readers will connect with her as she uncovers family secrets that completely change how she sees her relatives, and the ghostly encounters add just enough mystery to keep pages turning without being too scary for younger middle-graders. It's a great pick for kids who like stories mixing the supernatural with everyday life like a mystery adventure that also teaches something about trust and honesty. Parents will appreciate that it deals with family dynamics in a thoughtful way, though there's definitely some spooky atmosphere that ghost-story fans will love. Fans of books like "The Westing Game" or "Holes" will find a similar mix of puzzle-solving and character growth here, though with a gentler, more supernatural twist.
