Reach for this book if your teenager is struggling with the emotional weight of secrets or feels overwhelmed by the heavy responsibilities of growing up. In this paranormal thriller, Janie Hannagan navigates the dark side of high school life when she is pulled into a classmate's nightmares, uncovering a plot involving sexual misconduct and institutional failure. It is a gritty exploration of consent, justice, and the personal cost of doing the right thing. While the story features supernatural dream catching, its heart lies in the very real emotional struggles of trauma and the burden of knowledge. Due to themes of sexual abuse and high stakes violence, this is best suited for mature readers aged 14 and up. Parents might choose this to open a dialogue about boundaries, trusting one's instincts, and how to handle situations where adults may have failed to protect those in their care.
