The true colours of Coral Glen by Juliette Forrest.


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.
