A note for parents

Queste is the fourth book in a well-established middle-grade fantasy series featuring magical adventures, quests, and time travel. While there is some peril and a few scary supernatural elements (ghosts, curses), the tone remains generally lighthearted and adventure-focused with strong themes of friendship and loyalty. The series is age-appropriate for older elementary and middle-grade readers who enjoy fantasy, though reading the earlier books first is recommended.
