My 10yr old really enjoyed this book, so I read it so we could talk about it. I loved it! We are definitely going to our local used book store to buy the whole series!
I would also like to add, my 10yr old is a VERY hesitant reader. She gets intimidated if she thinks a book is "too big" for her (I think she means thick?) But she loved Roz so much that she always wanted to know what happened next. Chapters are very short, and even the sad and scary parts are handled very honestly and appropriately, so I think that helped her not get overwhelmed. Will definitely be looking for more like this to help build her reading confidence.

Moderate: Animal death
Animal deaths are treated with respect, and as a natural part of life. There is one "violent" death (told in a memory), but it is handled very well.
