Island of Shipwrecks, Volume 5 by Lisa McMann
4.0
Exciting adventures in a magical world.
Highlights: found family, creative and artistic magic, fun lovable talking creatures, equally brave female warriors, boys with well rounded feelings, encourages questioning ones upbringing and government, exposes brainwashing, explores characters grief.
*scientists from another world.
Down side: children put into adult roles and counted on as leaders. No one is queer. The children’s plans are often not well thought out and adults are mostly unhelpful. Children over 12 are expected to not need parenting. Lack of variety in spells.
Spoilers for sensitive minds.
Tw: dictators and tyrants.
Physical violence: ship wreck, death of both parents, construction accident, death of close friend, battle, mostly non-lethal wounds, cuts, kidnapping, near drowning.
Emotional pain- grief of loved ones, neglectful parents and the ramifications, mixed feelings around death of family, children forced into adult roles and systemically neglected.
Other: stranded, harsh environmental living conditions, hurricane.
