One of the most perfect middle grade books I’ve ever read. It’s spooky and endearing and written in such a great voice. I love how Lukoff plots such a careful reveal - go into this story knowing nothing more than it’s the tale of a kid being haunted by their dead uncle into figuring out something important.

I also love that Lukoff gives that exact book talk in the author’s note. He writes such great lines, like this one which got me right in the heart spot: “I could play these quiet games for the rest of my life, be always in a story and never really here.”
