Graphic: Bullying

Moderate: Murder

Minor: Body horror, Confinement, Death, and Forced institutionalization

Graphic: Bullying - a character is bullied in a school setting throughout the book. No physical harm is involved. Moderate: Murder - several characters are murdered and their deaths are described but not in intensely graphic detail. Minor: Body horror - a couple characters have features that are not "normal" for humans, but they are not described graphically. Confinement - one character is temporarily put into a cell. Forced institutionalization - one character is forcibly institutionalized. It is mentioned several times, and we briefly see the character in the institution.
