Middle Grade Chapter Book

In the year 1960, fifteen years after the conclusion of the “War to end all wars,” Emily Tanaka finds herself reluctantly journeying to her grandmother’s secluded house in the countryside. Emily, a young woman caught between the modern world and the echoes of her family’s past, feels disconnected from her Japanese heritage. Her grandmother’s home, filled with relics and memories of a bygone era, seems like a world apart from her own.

 

As Emily navigates the creaky floors and shadowed hallways of the old house, she begins to notice peculiar occurrences. Mysterious events connected to ancient family heirlooms create an unforgettable scene. These strange events stir something deep within her, a curiosity about the stories and traditions that have been passed down through generations.

 

Will Emily embrace the enigmatic allure of her heritage, uncovering the secrets that lie within her grandmother’s house? Or will she remain indifferent, choosing to stay detached from the rich tapestry of her family’s history? Join Emily on a journey of discovery, where the past and present intertwine, and where the key to understanding her identity may be hidden in the most unexpected places.
