I’m always a BIG fan of a good middle grade story and even more so when you make it spooky! I loved this story from start to finish, it was the perfect mix of spooky and heartwarming. You know it’s good when it warms my cold, black heart! Kidding aside, this story is really fantastic. It’s got heart and it’s got scares and it’s got cryptids and it’s got diversity. I’m not sure what more you can ask for! I really can’t recommend this one highly enough, both for adults and younger readers.
