All Our Hidden Gifts

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager feels like an outsider or is struggling to reconcile their past mistakes with the person they want to become. Set in contemporary Ireland, the story follows Maeve, a girl who finds a mysterious tarot deck and inadvertently causes her former best friend to vanish. It is a sophisticated blend of supernatural mystery and grounded social realism that explores the weight of reputation, the complexity of teenage friendships, and the discovery of one's own voice. While it features elements of magic and the occult, its heart lies in the very real journey of making amends and finding a chosen family. The book is appropriate for ages 14 and up, offering a thoughtful look at identity, gender, and the consequences of our actions in a digital age.
