The Eye of Callanish

A parent would reach for this book when their teenager feels like an outsider or is struggling to reconcile their personal identity with societal expectations. Set in the Bronze Age, the story follows a young girl named Kyra who possesses the 'sight' and must navigate a world of ancient mystery and shifting spiritual power. It explores profound themes of loneliness, the weight of being different, and the eventual discovery of one's purpose. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated prose and the way it handles the transition into adulthood with grace and historical depth. It is a thoughtful choice for a mature teen who prefers atmospheric, slow-burn narratives over fast-paced action.
