A note for parents
This YA suspense novel centers on a serious crime (murder) and its aftermath, with the protagonist navigating trauma recovery and the justice system. The tone is dramatic but not gratuitously graphic, making it appropriate for older teens who enjoy mystery thrillers. Stacy's determination to heal and seek justice, along with support from trustworthy adults, provides positive messaging. The book contains moderate tension and emotional weight suitable for mature middle-grade readers and most high schoolers.
