The book handles a wide range of potentially difficult topics with the lightest and gentlest of touches, so I think most of them will not pose a problem. However, Lucy's a bit morbid and has "spiders in his brain", and these elements recur frequently. There is a past confinement incident that is described in some detail towards the end of the book, but it is softened bywinters_night's review against another edition

I loved it from the beginning and it kept me entertained until the very end. I also read most parts of the book with a big smile on my face, it made me so happy.
The world the author describes is so magical and the characters… i don’t even know where to begin… throughout the book the reader gets to know more and more about all the children at the orphanage and the longer you read, the more you’ll learn to love them for who they are. I felt like I had such a strong bond with them.
“The House in the Cerulean Sea” is such a relaxing read. I would recommend anyone to read it!
