It might sound like an odd thing to say about a funny middle grade adventure story, but I think the first time I picked it up, I just wasn't emotionally able to handle the darker parts of the story. I switched to audio for this read through, which helped to get me past the part where I got stuck before, and it turns out this is an amazing, beautiful story. Looking forward the rest of the series!
This story needs some major warnings for animal death and injury, children in lots of danger (while I'd say it's all appropriate to the age group, this does include children being kidnapped, forced into essentially slave labor, and also being injured along with very low level torture of sorts), and lots of emotional trauma worked through within the story. I want to reiterate that it's all handled beautifully, just go in with the right expectations so you're not blindsided.
