Graphic: Violence and Blood
Minor: Child abuse, Sexual assault, Rape, Pedophilia, and Adult/minor relationship
The monster's acts are alluded to without ever being described. The only physical description given is a mention of bruises, but there is no elaboration beyond that. Any adult can read between the lines of what happened. It may not be apparent to some younger children/teens.breadbummer's review against another edition

Graphic: Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Child abuse
Minor: Pedophilia and Rape
Being a book more suited for older children, Emezi descriptions of abuse are by no means extensive, but rather provide an easy introduction into the topic via phrases like "monsters monstering" forarchiveofrasa's review against another edition
