Parent Verdict

Smarter and darker than typical kids' fare: the flashbacks include a racially motivated murder and Kissin' Kate Barlow shooting men dead, while the present-day story features deadly yellow-spotted lizards and abusive camp staff. It handles injustice themes thoughtfully. Best for ages 9 and up, and great for kids who read the book.
