A creepy ghostly mystery. Apparently, I’m a wimp because I could not read a YA story at night without getting scared. 🤣 I liked the mystery aspect of it, and that it’s set in a slightly alternative version of our world that’s a bit dystopian in that adults become dependent on the children to protect them because adults can’t see the ghosts.
