About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to navigate the complexities of long-term friendship and needs to see that even adults or mentors can have vulnerable pasts. While framed as a supernatural mystery, it is a deeply comforting story for kids who feel like outsiders or who worry about the safety of their loved ones. The story follows Lewis Barnavelt and his friend Rose Rita as they travel back in time to 1889 to save their neighbor, Mrs. Zimmermann, from a magical threat rooted in her own history. It deals with themes of loyalty, the weight of the past, and the courage required to protect those we love. This is a perfect middle-grade choice for those who enjoy a cozy yet atmospheric chill without the graphic nature of modern horror. It emphasizes that bravery is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to act despite it.
