A Secret Shared

This middle grade book explores family secrets and their impact.

For the target audience, I felt this was a good entrance into the idea that parents hide things from their children, and that when things aren't shared openly it can lead to kids feeling distrustful of their support system and uncertain of how to navigate that. There were a lot of complicated feelings that would have been nice to see explored further.

A short read that resolves itself unrealistically easily, but at the heart of it, it encourages families to share the truth even when it's hard, which is a good practice to learn.
