This offers a spooky family mystery alongside sibling relationships, friendship and moving home. Its strongest appeal is the tension between ordinary difficulties—housing, work and school—and the possibility that the tower is genuinely cursed.

Sign in for personalised guidanceThis offers a spooky family mystery alongside sibling relationships, friendship and moving home. Its strongest appeal is the tension between ordinary difficulties—housing, work and school—and the possibility that the tower is genuinely cursed.
Luna and Aurora move with their father into a tower that needs repairs, while he is still looking for work.
Aurora prefers spending time with Tansy, her imaginary friend, and apparently believes Tansy exists.
The tower has a room at the top that the children may not enter, and the story asks whether a curse affects the building.
Consider whether the reader is comfortable with ghost-story suspense, an apparently haunted or cursed setting, a younger child’s imaginary friend, school difficulties and the family pressure of a parent without work.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough; some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
