2006

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Cartoon peril, ghost imagery, kidnappings, shipwreck danger, hypnosis, and suspense may frighten younger children, but violence is non-graphic and the adventure has comic, reassuring resolutions. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
