- Reading
- Pause around haunting and frightening encounters and ask how the book presents it.
- Themes
- Haunting and frightening encounters: Harper hears that the family's new home is haunted; a spirit attacks her, and a ghost appears as a rotting corpse. The haunting drives a scare-focused mystery, but the incidents alone do not establish an evaluative message about spirits or violence.
- Korean traditions and family heritage: Harper takes pride in her grandmother's Korean traditions, which help her defeat the house's evil spirit. The stated connection between Harper's pride in these traditions and overcoming the spirit presents that heritage positively in this part of the story.
- Racial division among ghosts: White ghosts in a segregated graveyard distrust a ghost buried in the neighbouring African American graveyard. The story includes racial division beyond death, but the available plot details do not establish how the narrative ultimately judges or resolves it.
- Worth knowing
- The haunting includes a spirit attacking Harper on the stairs with a toy truck, and a ghost depicted as a rotting corpse. These scenes may unsettle readers sensitive to horror.
