This book was really sweet, great for anyone in a fandom desperately wishing to go to the fantasy world. It gave me Narnia mixed with old school Hardy Boys vibes. I enjoyed being able to play along with the puzzles, but there were a few character choices I could not get behind. It got a little too close to adult/minor relationship with the main character and her love interests.
Graphic: Emotional abuse and Abandonment
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Pedophilia, and Terminal illness
