This book was a total surprise. I was expecting a fun, fluffy, right-amount-of-spooky, though somewhat simple, middle-grade ghost story. Instead, it is a historical, slice-of-life, coming of age piece with a paranormal twist. Definitely would be considered YA more than Middle Grade nowadays. The writing was phenomenal. Reminded me a bit of the Anne of Green Gables series. Hard to find YA books like this anymore. Will def read the sequels.
