Taxi Ghost

Reach for this book when your child feels like their internal world is a mismatch for their external environment, especially during a transition to a new school. Taxi Ghost follows Adèle, a young girl who discovers she is a medium capable of seeing and talking to ghosts. While initially overwhelmed by her 'difference,' she eventually finds confidence and purpose in helping spirits resolve their unfinished business. It is an excellent choice for children navigating the social anxieties of being 'the new kid' or feeling misunderstood by peers. The book handles themes of empathy, identity, and the bravery required to be yourself. While the premise involves ghosts, the tone is spirited and adventurous rather than truly frightening. It is perfect for readers aged 8 to 12 who enjoy mysteries with a magical twist. Parents will appreciate how the story frames Adèle's unique gift not as a burden, but as a bridge to connecting with others and finding her place in a new community.
