A note for parents

Haunted is a lighthearted supernatural mystery centered on a teen mediator who communicates with ghosts. While there are some tense moments and mild scares typical of ghost stories, the tone remains fun and character-driven rather than genuinely frightening. The romantic subplot between Susannah and a ghost involves some kissing and emotional intensity but nothing explicit. The book emphasizes kindness, courage, and using her gift responsibly.
