This being a middle grade is of course considerable lighter than her older works, but considering our main character is a girl who can see ghosts and not all of them are friendly, this book is dark nonetheless. It was just as fun as the others and of course in Victoria Schwab's dark style. ![]() How can we know what really happened if we weren’t there?

There are two scenes where a character is wearing an ordinary nightgown in a completely normal and non-sexual way. The revealing nightgown mentioned in the common sense review doesn't exist. Language is present, as mentioned in the common sense review. Witchcraft is present, though it is just a character's superstition and doesn't "work," so to speak. This is the main issue that might make the movie unsuitable for some children or families. A character is killed, not directly shown, but the filmography lends itself to dark overtones that may feel disturbing to some younger viewers. The villagers are hateful and mean to the girls throughout the film, and the climax of the movie has pretty intense vitriol. The big reveal was more predictable in the movie, not the big eye-opening surprise that you get to experience when reading. ![]() The unfolding of the plot is enjoyably suspenseful in the book.
