This book gave off Neil Gaiman and Over The Garden Wall vibes. The story teaches you about the consequences of hiding secrets and the consequences of lies that impact the world around you. It also teaches you that death is inevitable and although it is sorrowful it is nothing to be afraid of .
adventurous fast-paced
