Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

"Sandpeople" by Cheryl Kerr has a much broader depth than just being a mystery book. It is about how children cope with their parents' divorce. It is about how to overcome a feeling of abandonment and develop one's self-worth and confidence. It is about maturing from childhood into adolescence. It is about how a community can come together to help each other. There is a wealth of topics that can be explored in this book beyond just the mystery.

- Latest Review: Harmony, Florida - Living with Nature in a New Town by Anthony James Catanese, Ph.D., FAICP
Beyond the mystery, we could see how Lea navigates childhood. Most children will learn great lessons from her development. Aunt Meg's love for children is another aspect of this book that showcases the ability of humans to care.

This book has very real feelings aside from the aspect of mystery. It can be taken as a lesson and allow us to process grief.

Asides being a mystery book, it contains a lot of real-life themes that are not explored in other books. It is self-educating and thought provoking.

Absolutely not! Except mysterious sand people ghost storyline, other subjects didn't explored much even though they had much potential.
