I'm thrilled to hear that you found the book well-written and engaging, with a blend of history, mystery, and coming-of-age themes that resonate with upper middle-grade readers. Your observation about the focus on Lea's personal growth over the summer, rather than solely on her parents' separation, is spot-on. I aimed to depict Lea's journey of self-discovery and resilience in the face of unexpected challenges, and I'm delighted that you found this aspect of the story meaningful.
I'm especially glad that you enjoyed the historical elements woven into the narrative and found them educational yet exciting. It was important to me to provide young readers with a glimpse into the past while keeping the story engaging and accessible. Your appreciation for the blend of imagination and reality in the scenes, from horseback riding to treasure hunting, means a lot to me as well.
Your feedback about the lack of age-inappropriate content and the relatable nature of Lea's character is invaluable. I'm thrilled that you found her transition and growth throughout the book compelling and believe that it will resonate with readers navigating their own journeys from childhood to adolescence.
