“I wish I had read this book when I was a kid! While it is tailored towards a younger audience it is written very well and is fast-paced. This is a good book if you want something a little spooky but light-hearted. The protagonist has a sister who has an intellectual disability and the topic is done very well. I have a soft spot for this subject so some parts made me feel sad and thoughtful, but that just made the book more meaningful. The ending is heartwarming so I'm happy. 😊”
