“I picked this up to see if my nephew would enjoy it and it pulled me in quickly and didn’t let go. Kyle is such a believable kid, and Ragamuffin stole the show. I appreciated how the story handled difficult topics with care instead of turning them into cheap drama. The mystery element added tension without being scary, and the forest setting gave everything a quiet, almost magical tone. By the end, I felt satisfied and a little emotional. A really solid read.
