Minor: Death and Death of parent
maeverose's review
2.0
Brian was the main pov character for this one, which was an improvement from the last book, but I still felt like he barely had any personality. Coco still ended up finding a lot of the solutions to things. (Speaking of Coco, I’m really starting to get annoyed with how often they have to mention how tiny and unassuming she is. We get it. She’s not like other girls.)
Spoiler
Very small nit pick: What was up with the part when they asked ‘wonder who the skeleton was? Must’ve been Sheehan.’ When the axe man (Sheehan) clearly called the skeleton Tommy multiple times… And Tommy was mentioned in the journals they literally just read? Was it supposed to be a plot twist that axe man was Sheehan? Even 11 year olds could easily see that coming…Moderate: Mental illness, Ableism, Child abuse, Death, and Injury/Injury detail
