A maze shaped by family fears

Freya takes on the role of protector for her autistic brother, Frankie, while trying to keep peace at home. After a panic attack at a summer fair, she enters a mysterious maze whose puzzles, creatures, and storms give form to her deepest fears. The setup links a fantastical challenge with the pressures of family responsibility and the question of what Freya must face within herself. The description leaves the maze’s truth unresolved, positioning the story around fear, courage, and the bonds between siblings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in young adult fiction about disability and family relationships.
  • Readers who enjoy fantasy premises built around puzzles and mysterious settings.
  • Readers interested in stories about sibling responsibility and facing personal fears.
