Title: Not age appropriate
Review: Too bad that an imaginative author like Marissa Moss has no moral compass. Any mention of occult matters in a book for 2nd-5th graders in WAYYY out of bounds--you can't even lean on the multi-cultural argument. Tarot cards, Ouji boards and reading chicken bones are something (superstitions) our kids shouldn't even be exposed to (and something that was highly unusual in kid's literature just 20 years ago). And the same is true whether your family is Christian, Jewish or Muslim--mentioning the occult and making it part of the plot is just offensive. Because it is a bright, attractive book it IS hard for kids to discern just how wrong it is.My own 8 yo daughter read 2 other Amelia books w/o incident, then got to this one. There won't be anything by Marissa Moss in our household again. There's too much GOOD literature out there to waste time on trash.
