The true colours of Coral Glen by Juliette Forrest.
Scholastic 2019.
A fantasy ghost adventure tied up in Coral's grief and guilt
over her grandmother's death.
The grief of Coral and her parents keeps them isolated and
insular, unable to see or understand each other's grief.
Coral keeps her feelings to herself, and cannot tell her
parents that she believes she is responsible for her grandmother's death.
The end of the adventure gives Coral the courage to express
her guilt and receive comfort in return. The final scene of reconciliation and
support feels quite hurried and quickly wrapped-up.
