A note for parents

The Secret Hour is a well-crafted sci-fi adventure for older middle-grade and young teen readers. The story centers on a group of teenagers discovering their special abilities and banding together to protect their town from supernatural creatures. While there are action sequences and some scary moments, the content is not graphic, and the emphasis remains on friendship, courage, and loyalty rather than graphic danger.
