An excellent creepy middle grade unlike any I've read before. A fantastical changeling take on a very real situation. May be helpful for brave kiddos facing ill family members (esp younger siblings), plus a mirror for those with OCD.

A creepy read made creepier from reading it from the perspective of an adult. A book about how we're all imperfect and how wanting to shun that can ruin us all.
