The Bewitching of Aveline Jones

The book manages to be eerie but also funny at times, which is a tricky mix in children's horror. I'm curious how that tone was shaped during writing.

Her growth felt very genuine and relatable despite the ghostly encounters. It made me wonder how much of her personality was inspired by real kids.

The atmosphere felt very immersive, as if the town itself was a character. I wonder if the author drew from a real place or created it entirely from imagination.
