4.5-4.75 stars rounded up! I agree with other reviews that this gives off Neil Gaiman vibes, making it a perfectly spooky middle grade read. Evie went through a traumatic experience and as a result, she really only has her aunt in her life. The family love aspect was so genuine and pure. The clackity was incredibly eerie and the quest it gave her was so fun but unsettling. The imagery of the ghosts gave me chills. I fell in love with this story!!
