Description
When an unsettling evil spirit begins to spread fear across her island home, eleven-year-old Corinne discovers that survival will require more than bravery—it will require ancient magic and the willingness to face what she’s been taught to ignore. As Corinne searches for answers and allies, she’s drawn into a world where the unseen can be both protective and dangerous, and where every choice carries real consequences for her community. Blending folklore, suspense, and coming-of-age wonder, the story explores themes of courage, identity, and the power of heritage to guide us through darkness. With Tracey Baptiste’s vivid, lyrical storytelling and accessible emotional depth, this is a captivating read that turns myth into a heartfelt, high-stakes adventure.
