A note for parents
Dead City is an adventure-mystery with paranormal elements set in New York City that appeals to middle-grade readers seeking something darker than typical school stories. The zombie premise and supernatural elements create mild scares and tension, but violence is not graphic or gratuitous. The story emphasizes friendship, belonging, and protecting others, with Molly learning courage and empathy as an outsider who finds her place.
