What’s in it?

Death of a character2/5
Why this rating?

Death is threatened and occurs in the story, including serious danger to characters; grief and mortality are present without graphic depiction.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

Injuries and violence occur, but graphic blood or bodily detail is generally minimal.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Insults, threats, and dated terms occur, but strong profanity is not a major feature.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

Childhood crushes, jealousy, affection, and hints of future romantic relationships appear, but romance is not the main focus.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Pirates, captivity, dangerous waters, threats, and frightening encounters create sustained but usually fantastical tension.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Adventure includes sword fights, attacks, kidnapping threats, and peril involving children; violence is fantastical but sometimes consequential.

Family care, loyalty, rescue, and tenderness are important, though characters also display jealousy, cruelty, and possessiveness.

Why this rating?

Explores imagination, freedom, family love, responsibility, growing up, and the costs of refusing maturity; some messages are morally complicated.

Good role models2/5
