A note for parents

Storm Front is an adult urban fantasy novel that launched a bestselling series, but it contains some content that pushes it toward older teens. Harry Dresden is an appealing, resourceful protagonist who demonstrates courage and integrity despite being flawed and financially desperate. While the magic system and detective mystery are engaging, the violence (murders, combat magic) and occasional profanity are consistent with adult fantasy rather than middle-grade fare.

The novels of the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and non-stop fun. Storm Front is Jim Butcher's first novel and introduces his most famous and popular character-Harry Dresden, wizard for hire.For his first case, Harry is called in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with the blackest of magic. At first, the less-than-solvent Harry's eyes light up with dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage. Now, that black mage knows Harry's name. And things are about to get very...interesting.
