The Radleys
Middle grade · ages 8–12 · 750L · 2015
A clever magical-family comedy that sneaks real belonging anxiety under the surface—the vampire premise is a transparent stand-in for any kid who feels they don't fit, and Haig treats both the humor and the loneliness seriously.
The Midnight Train
Young adult · ages 14–18 · 820L
Haig's signature blend of existential magic and emotional honesty—the train's surreal logic works best if you surrender to it rather than parse the rules, and anxious teens will recognize themselves in Cerulea's internal narration.
