On the surface, this felt quite messy. There was so many things going on. Tess being angry at her dad, Tess and her cat, Alice. Tess running away. Bullying problems. Adventures with Eddie and Cotter. Then the whole supernatural ouija, making 'psychic friends' communicating with the dead and having premonition dreams.

But underneath the hullabaloo actually lies a story on death and grief. Anger that stems from not knowing how to embrace that feeling when you lose someone when they pass. And that grief and loss is felt at any age, even adults. And the MG level of storytelling makes the story an interesting adventure one to attract the attention of the younger ones yet at the same time the sad story makes it also relatable. Loved this.
