Ouija
Katharine Turner
- Reading
- Consider reading the opening together, then check in after Debbie’s death and as the supernatural mystery develops. This can help you judge the book’s suspense and intensity for your reader.
- Themes
- Friendship and grief: Laine’s friend Debbie dies, and Laine investigates the circumstances. The loss is the catalyst for Laine’s search for answers; the blurb does not establish how the novel ultimately frames grief or friendship.
- Ouija board and supernatural danger: Laine uses the board to investigate Debbie’s death and discovers that a sinister presence has come through it. The board is connected with the story’s threat, but this does not establish a general message about Ouija boards or how the danger is resolved.
- Worth knowing
- The blurb includes Debbie’s death, described as horrible and haunting, and a sinister supernatural threat. These elements may feel intense for some readers; the book’s level of detail is unclear.
