3.5
The Legacies is, unfortunately, not Goodman’s strongest work, with its “twists” playing out fairly predictably. It touches lightly on social class issues, but overall stays firmly a shallow teen mystery.
Graphic: Alcoholism and Drug abuse
Moderate: Murder, Death of parent, Blood, Death, and Classism
Minor: Fire/Fire injury, Toxic relationship, Suicide, Toxic friendship, and Vomit
