THE GIRL WHO COULD FLY

Sebastian is effectively killed, and the institution destroys animals and plants that cannot be normalized; death and loss carry emotional weight.

Mentions of an incinerator and the death of a creature, but lacks graphic descriptions.

Very mild; standard children's literature with no harsh profanity.

Brief mention of church, but not a religious-themed story.

Very light, age-appropriate bonds between children, but no romantic plots.

Children face confinement, dangerous experiments, threatening machines, betrayal, animal peril, a blackout, and threats of disabling surgery, creating sustained suspense.

There is a physical fight, an attack on Piper, threats, coercive experimentation, and peril during escape attempts; violence is fantastical but sometimes serious.
