I think that this middle-grade series, this book in particular, is a great way to teach kids about mental health, depression, and the impact it can have on our day-to-day. It also emphasizes the importance of asking questions, especially when something is going on that we feel is wrong. The book is fast-paced, but you never feel like you're flying through it too quickly. The cast of characters is excellent, and it is nice to see characters with lots of powers/abilities struggle a little and have a strong need to learn, especially in fantasy.
Graphic: Fire/Fire injury
