A note for parents

Killer Instinct is a mystery-thriller centered on a murder investigation, so it contains dark and tense moments appropriate for upper-middle-grade to young teen readers. The book emphasizes problem-solving, friendship, and character growth rather than graphic violence. While the premise involves murder and some emotionally heavy themes, the focus is on the protagonists' detective work and personal development.
