Detective Conan: The Time Bombed Skyscraper

2006

Once brilliant teenage detective Shinichi Kudo was given a poison that reverted him to a 4-year-old. He's adopted the pseudonym Conan Edogawa so no one (save for an eccentric inventor) will know. Now he's got to solve a series of bombings before his loved ones become victims. Who is this madman and why is he doing this? Only the young genius can save the day but will even he be up to the task?

Ages 10+Source checked

Why this age? Bomb threats, dangerous traps, peril, explosions, and implied death create sustained suspense. The violence is generally non-graphic, while mystery-solving and emotional themes suit older children. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
