The Hollow Boy

The spooky atmosphere felt genuine but not too frightening for younger readers. I'm curious whether balancing these tones was a challenge or an intentional choice.

It took a while before the clues started stacking up, but once it did, I couldn't put the book down. Was this pacing deliberate to build suspense?

The city felt alive with secrets and history. I wonder if the author drew from real places or created this world entirely from imagination.
