This is a great middle-grade or young adult (YA) read, especially for a reader who likes to feel a little creepy and scared as they're reading. Marina Cohen manages to build a sense of foreboding, tension, and anxiety without slipping into gore, cheap scares, or other keep-you-up-at-night type horror. Great atmosphere building and a good story to follow.
If the reader is well-versed in tropes and archetypes from some other fields of literature and story, they might be able to guess at what's going on fairly early in the book, but even if they do, it won't spoil the enjoyment of this well-written story.
