Booklist - 08/08/2023 Welcome to Deephaven, where the east wing is off-limits, secrets lurk behind every door, and there’s always a chance you’ll be sent back home. Nev Tallow, our nonbinary tween protagonist, begins the novel with excitement for Deephaven, an exclusive school that prioritizes odd areas of scholarship. The Depression is finally over, Nev’s father has been hauled away by debt collectors, and now Nev has to make their home at Deephaven. Quickly they learn the school is not exactly what it seems and that darkness lurks in the shadows. When Nev uncovers a monster living in the east wing, their entire trajectory changes, hurtling them into danger to try to save who the monster used to be. For fans of light horror, gothic literature, and school stories, this will invite readers into its clutches, and Nev’s unique perspective allows them to hurtle toward the climactic end alongside them. The prose is quick-moving, black-and-white illustrations give the story ambiance, and readers will be clamoring to find out what happens next to Nev Tallow. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
