Bones of Faerie
Janni Lee Simner
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in around the scenes of harm, then let your child choose whether to pause. The unsettled mysteries may also suit a conversation after finishing.
- Themes
- Fear of magic: In Liza’s town, children who show magical abilities are killed; another community accepts magic and encourages Liza to follow her visions. The contrast presents sharply different responses to magic, with acceptance offering Liza room to explore her abilities.
- Worth knowing
- Violence includes a father beating his daughter with a belt, drawing blood, as well as animal attacks.
