The Heart of a Child by Adam Cosco
Eleven-year-old Ava O’Brien has always been quiet, observant, and just a little different. But when she tells her parents about a day at school that ended in horror, they’re left shaken and uncertain.

Ava’s story is classmates blindfolded and led into a hidden basement, masked figures performing unthinkable rituals, and a darkness so suffocating that it still haunts her dreams. Her details are vivid, her fear palpable—too vivid to dismiss as fantasy.

Teddy and Barbara O’Brien want to believe it’s all in their daughter’s mind. But as cracks form in the facade of their small-town life, they realize Ava’s account may be more than a story. If she’s telling the truth, then evil is closer than they ever imagined—and it’s been watching all along.

The Heart of a Child is a harrowing journey into the unknown, blending supernatural terror with the raw vulnerability of childhood. Perfect for fans of The Exorcist and Hereditary, this is a story that will linger long after the final page.
