Set in Scotland, this book follows 10-year-old Lauren as she and her dad try to live their life with the disappearance of her mother 10 years prior still looming over them. A mix of paranormal and domestic thriller, Pine blends all its elements well, approaching the horror of the storyline from a 10-year-olds perspective.
