- Reading
- Try reading a little at a time, pausing when the ghostly mystery intensifies. Check in about whether your reader wants to continue, and discuss the family situation separately from the scares.
- Themes
- Ghostly danger and mystery: The children encounter strange occurrences and uncover a chamber associated with a restless Templar knight. The story presents the ghost and possible threat as frightening elements of a mystery; how it resolves them is unclear.
- Family after divorce: The Goodman children take their first proper holiday with their estranged archaeologist father since their parents’ divorce. The changed family arrangement is part of the setup, but its emotional treatment and development are not established.
- Worth knowing
- The ghost is described as restless, and the children face a horrifying secret and possible danger. Consider whether supernatural menace and threatened children feel manageable for your reader.
