A note for parents

Marie Lu's historical fantasy about Mozart's sister Nannerl blends real history with magical invention, exploring ambition, family bonds, and the costs of pursuing dreams. The tone is emotionally intense and occasionally dark, with some mature themes around loss and disappointment, but no graphic content. The book celebrates artistic talent, sibling relationships, and resilience, making it suitable for emotionally mature middle-grade readers and up.
