A note for parents

Box in the Woods is a YA mystery with darker themes centered on a murder investigation at a boarding school. While the book features adventurous, plot-driven storytelling with humor and likeable characters, it contains violence, substance use, panic disorder, and mature themes that make it better suited for mid-to-older teens. The presence of LGBTQ+ characters and themes adds representation without being a primary focus.
