A note for parents
Dark Waters is a fantasy adventure with mysterious and tense elements that leans toward the darker side of children's literature. The story involves grief, injury, and death as central themes, creating a more mature emotional landscape than typical middle-grade fare. While there is some peril and tension, graphic violence is not a defining feature, making it suitable for resilient readers around age 10 and up who enjoy atmospheric, character-driven fantasy.
