I listened to this audiobook via @Libro.fm's ALC program for educators. It took a genre turn I wasn't expecting, since I went in expecting a ghost story mystery, but at the end some science fiction aspects were added in. I did like the way that was done, I just wasn't expecting it! I liked the characters and how they were developed through the story, especially Rafa and Julie. There definitely are some emotional and sad topics dealt with in this book--like death of a parent and chronic illness of a parent, as well as PTSD of a side character, and anxiety of the main character. Recommend for upper elementary and up.
