What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The plot is initiated by the will of a deceased character, but his death is a historical event, not a source of grief or trauma in the story. The treatment is entirely secular. The conflict involves greed and mild intimidation from adult antagonists, but the resolution is hopeful and reinforces that cleverness and integrity triumph.
