A note for parents
This mystery novel uses a séance as a plot device that leads to a murder investigation, creating suspenseful but not graphically violent content. The story emphasizes courage, friendship, and perseverance as young characters work to solve the mystery and protect their community. While there are some scary and eerie moments typical of the mystery-thriller genre, the violence and mature themes are handled at a level appropriate for middle-grade readers who enjoy mysteries.
