I thought this was pretty great & creepy & sinister. Personally I can't see it being for kids, but maybe it depends on the kid! Probably good to check out before giving to a kid, though.
If I was a mysterious best-selling author this is exactly how I would fill my time.

My first time to have read a novel by Elena Ferrante. Her works especially the Neapolitan Quartet are always acclaimed here.
This is a short novel intended for children,but if adults read it,they may perceive the story to be dark,eerie, figurative,and puzzling since it turns out to be a companion to her novel The Lost Daughter.
I think this is a wrong starting point.I should begin with her debut Troubling Love.
It´s interesting that Elena Ferrante has been a nom de plume since 1992. 🤔
This is a children's short story that is not only a children's short story. A lost doll can become the most existentialist tale of human kind. Ferrante revisits some places and topics she recreates in the Napolitan series and The Lost Daughter in such a brief-deep way.
