A review by bennysbooks
The Field Guide by Holly Black, Tony DiTerlizzi

adventurous dark mysterious

Read with my 6-year old. He loved it, we finished it in one day and he gave it 100 stars 😉 I enjoyed the reading experience too. It reminded me of that feeling of getting into a new series as a child. It was creepy, it was cozy, and it's a great choice if your child can handle/enjoys some darkness. My kid seems to prefer something creepy over something emotional. We had to stop reading The Tale of Despereaux because he couldn't handle how mean the mouse's parents and siblings were, but book two in this series involves

a cat being roasted over a fire and eaten by goblins,

and he was fine with that.
