Reviews
"""Lindsey Hobson's The Girl in the Window is an engaging mystery novel with a compelling blend of intrigue and heartfelt emotion. The story centers on Izzy, a personable young girl with a knack for baseball. A misaimed ball into an old Victorian house marks the beginning of her adventure. Despite her initial reluctance to confront the consequences, a nudge from her mother leads Izzy to apologize to the homeowner. This encounter soon unravels into a deeper mystery involving a seemingly invisible girl who appears to Izzy alone, seeking her help to uncover the house's secrets.Izzy emerges as a wonderfully crafted character, both brave and imperfect, making her highly relatable. Her loyalty to her family and her strong bond with her siblings add layers to her personality. Hobson skillfully maintains suspense and encourages readers to look beyond superficial judgments, a theme that resonates throughout the novel. Challenges in friendships, particularly with her best friend Max, and a family's quest for unity are woven into the narrative, enhancing the story's realism. While the plot initially unfolds at a leisurely pace, it gains momentum as the characters and their relationships are fleshed out, leading to a more dynamic exploration of the novel's themes. Hobson's vivid descriptions of settings, detailed character development, and the use of multiple perspectives enrich the reader's connection to the story, allowing for an immersive experience.The Girl in the Window is a well-crafted children's chapter book that is sure to captivate the attention of middle-grade readers and young adults. The author delivers a story that is not only entertaining but also infused with meaning, while gradually building suspense as the characters work to uncover the secrets hidden within the old house."" - Literary Titan, 5 Star Review"
