Title: caution with age level
Review: I picked this up for my 10 year old because of the Newbery Honor award. But the back cover mentioned murderers, rapists, hit men -- I thought I needed to read it through to figure out how much details on these crimes. There is a part where the main character loses his autistic sister and finds her she is sitting with a 'con.' Many questions can be brought up about why the boy is so concerned about leaving his sister alone with a man. The boys spends a while trying to figure out how much time they were alone together. There are phrases like -- Men that hadn't seen a woman in a long time, or exclamations like, "Sweet Jesus." Review it for your kid. My kid is NOT ready for the subject matter of this book. This book may be more appropriate for middle schoolers.
