I initially underestimated it, thinking it might be too young for my taste, but I found it quite enjoyable. It is a nice fit for a YA book. Not too long, but not too short. I think it would more appeal the tween/younger YA crowd tbh. The ghost story was captivating, woven seamlessly with intriguing Chinese folklore. The narrative's pacing was well-balanced, allowing for a deep exploration of family history and the reconnection with grandparents. It adeptly explored themes of trust, friendship, and family dynamics, adding depth to the storyline.
