What Parents Should Know

Moral AmbiguityMild

A character takes something that isn't theirs, but it's resolved as a misunderstanding, not a crime.

Sensitive Topics

The primary social theme is socioeconomic difference and judging others based on wealth or behavior. The book handles this gently, using Athena's "spoiled" behavior as a starting point for a lesson in empathy. The resolution is hopeful and focuses on understanding rather than punishment. The approach is entirely secular and realistic.
