Ooft, love a book for younger audiences that pulls off some seriously scary/spooky stuff. This is like the YA version of We Have Always Lived In The Castle with some seriously beautiful and haunting illustrations. I want to leave it in a little free library around the corner but am also afraid of it going to a kid who's not ready for this level of scare.
Graphic: Bullying, Emotional abuse, and Toxic friendship
Moderate: Child death
