What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

Characters are in suspenseful situations, like exploring an empty house, but face no real threat.

Sensitive Topics

The central plot involves a missing person, but the approach is direct and framed as a puzzle, not a dangerous crime. The tone is consistently light and avoids any real sense of menace or fear. The resolution is hopeful and confirms that the author was never in any true danger. The entire approach is secular.
