2.5

A spooky, mysterious story with a rich atmosphere and setting that you don't really find too often in books. Cotter paints Newfoundland in such a way that you can see the landscapes so clearly as you read along and feel the chill and dampness that the main character's experience as they uncover the secrets behind their family line. Kids will love the ghostly aspects of the mystery, as pieces start to come together and twists pop up at every turn. It's somewhat difficult to read as an adult, as I think it would have flowed better if the chapters managed to be a bit longer and the style was a bit less repetitive and simplistic.
