This was really good! I loved the layers of storytelling and genre here. It's not your average ghost story nor does it read like a typical middle grade coming-of-age.
Interesting perspective of parenting a trans kid and gender role enforcement of role models. I also love the re of kids who don't always know what's going on with their gender (not everyone knows from the moment they're conscious that they're trans/queer, sometimes it takes soul searching and education).
I really liked the narrator of this so I especially recommend it in that format if you like audiobooks.

I definitely loved loved loved this book. It is fictional coming of age story of a teenager living in a haunted house. There’s not much more that I can say without spoiling huge plot points. But I will say that for me, every time I thought something cliche about this paranormal coming of age story was about to happen, I was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t what I expecting. The emotions and reactions were positive and I left the story satisfied and happy.
