  “What starts as a creepy horror book quickly becomes a mystery based on history and the process of acknowledging the wrongs of the past. With a diverse cast of characters, this story will keep you on the edge of your seat while incorporating themes of race, neurodiversity, friendship and family bonds. An interesting, fun, and slightly scary read!”

  —Holly Weinkauf, The Red Balloon Bookshop, St. Paul, MN
  
  

  “This debut novel is a must-read: it effortlessly weaves together a horrifying truth, supernatural elements, and the poignant sense of being unheard and misunderstood.”

  —Kromeklia Bryant, Solid State Books, Washington, DC
  

  “This is the book version of that prickly hair-on-end feeling you get when you just know something is watching you. The first middle grade  novel that has left me unsettled in quite a long time, and through a refreshingly unique protagonist. You’ll have your perspective broadened as you worry about what goes bump in the night.”

  —Katie Pionk, McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petosky, MI
