Too Bright to See is a surprisingly touching middle grade (light) horror novel about Bug, whose beloved uncle Roderick has just passed away, the summer before middle school. Bug lives in an old house in the country and has always known that the house is haunted, but now it seems that there’s a new ghost in the house - Uncle Roderick is back, and he has a very important message to share with Bug. 

I am genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this queer little ghost story. I don’t often root for happy endings in horror, but getting to read the absolute best case scenario happen for sweet Bug was so heartwarming. If you are looking for a very quick and easy read, I highly recommend this book!
