It's been ages since I read this as a kid; either I do not remember or I did not register when I was young just how dark a world the characters live in. Actions that on the surface are single unpleasant moments paint a deeper, oppressive undercurrent that my adult self could pick up on and interpret long before the book and character explain.

Moderate: Death of parent, Abandonment, Child death, Confinement, Murder, Violence, Child abuse, Death, Grief, Physical abuse, Injury/Injury detail, and Misogyny

Read for the characters, read for the plot, read for the point it makes, no matter what you're reading for you will not be disappointed.
Moderate: Death of parent and Ableism
Minor: Abandonment, Child death, Murder, Violence, Sexism, Misogyny, and Suicide
None of these are treated like they're good, in fact the story makes a big point about ableism, but these things are present and could be upsetting to some readers
