Praise for this book
Haunted Hollow is such a creative setting, and David Carl brings it to life beautifully. Lexi is an easy character to root for, and her upcoming birthday adds a great sense of anticipation. This book feels cozy, magical, and thoughtful all at once.
What I loved most about this book is its message. Lexi’s journey mirrors what many kids experience fear of change, excitement about the future, and learning to trust yourself. The ghost theme adds a fun twist, but the emotional core is what really makes the story shine.
Lexi’s Tale is ideal for middle grade readers. The writing is clear and engaging, the characters are friendly, and the story never talks down to its audience. It’s imaginative without being confusing and thoughtful without being heavy.
This book feels like a warm hug with a spooky theme. Lexi’s fears and hopes are written in a way that kids can understand and connect with. It’s a gentle reminder that change can be scary but also exciting.
