Spirit Week

A parent might reach for this book when their child is facing the anxiety of a new school and the challenge of making friends. Spirit Week follows Suzy, a budding engineer who feels like a total outsider at her new, very strange school: Enoch's End School for Gifted Mysteries. She soon teams up with two other students to solve the mystery of a monster that supposedly haunts the halls. This graphic novel beautifully blends a classic spooky mystery with the very real feelings of loneliness, bravery, and the joy of finding your people. It's a perfect choice for middle-grade readers who love a good puzzle and need to see that being different is a strength, not a weakness.
