A note for parents

This ghost story explores themes of loneliness, guilt, and toxic friendship dynamics with genuine emotional weight. While the supernatural haunting and a fatal accident create dread and intensity, the book centers on a tween protagonist learning to overcome isolation and recognize unhealthy relationships. The content is darker and more emotionally complex than typical middle-grade fiction, making it best suited for mature readers ages 10+.

This spine-tingling ghost story follows a tween girl who’s being literally haunted by loneliness until a new friendship upends her life. From the bestselling author of the Paola Santiago series! "Absolutely haunting!"—Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Mine Sadie Rivera has been haunted all her life by a vengeful ghost—a ghost that doesn’t want her to make any friends. The moment she tries? Cue exploding lightbulbs, chilling gusts of wind, and slamming doors. Last year, Sadie got fed up. Last year, she made a best friend, Anna. So when the ghost caused an accident that killed her best friend, Sadie knew it was all her fault. Which is why she’s not going to make any friends this year at her new school. At least until mysterious cool girl Mal shows up, and the ghost doesn’t bother her for once. But Mal wants Sadie all to herself—and she’ll do anything to make sure it stays that way.
