Pointe addresses serious themes including child abduction, trauma, and eating disorders through the story of a teen ballerina grappling with her missing best friend's reappearance. The narrative explores how trauma affects young people and features LGBTQ+ characters and themes woven into the story. While handled thoughtfully, the subject matter—particularly the psychological weight of knowing about a crime and personal health struggles—makes this best suited for mature teens who can process complex emotional content.

Theo risks her health as she decides whether to tell the truth about the abductor, knowing her revelation could end her dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer.Four years after Theo's best friend, Donovan, disappeared at age 13, he is found and returns home.
