The last treasure
Janet Anderson
- Reading
- Try reading a few chapters together or checking in when ghosts or ghost-related material come up. That gives you a chance to gauge the story’s atmosphere before deciding whether to continue independently.
- Themes
- Family secrets and belonging: Ellsworth visits relatives he has never met and investigates secrets connected with his family’s past. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- The ghostly mystery: The story asks whether Ellsworth can set ghosts to rest while uncovering an ancestor’s hidden treasure. Ghosts add a supernatural element to the investigation, but it is unclear whether they are frightening, symbolic or treated in another way.
- Worth knowing
- Ghosts, family problems and secrets are part of the story’s setup. Their intensity and how frightening or troubling they become are unclear, so check in if these themes tend to unsettle your reader.
