What’s in it?

Death of a character1/5
Why this rating?

Skeletons or ghosts may suggest death, but death is not presented as a narrative event or shown realistically.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

Creepy creatures, ghosts, skeletons, and dark fantasy imagery may unsettle young children, though the artwork is stylized rather than realistic.

Violence1/5
Why this rating?

Fantasy weapons and possible combat imagery appear in static, stylized drawings. There is no indication of realistic or graphic violence.

What’s good in it?

Creativity & curiosity5/5
