Notes for Parents edit see section history

Reading Level: Young Adults

While this book does not contain profanity or gratuitous sex, it does have elements of violence. Additionally, the antagonist along with a diverse collection of "bad guys" present themselves as imposing figures. While some strong readers of a younger age might enjoy this adventure, the book is more suitable for readers older than 12.
