Do not enjoy the theme of orphans; it feels overdone and too sad for my children (maybe at the time of writing it was not overdone?). Would prefer to read a book that deal with loss while keeping families together. Themes: home, loss/loneliness
Moderate: Abandonment and Child death
Minor: Bullying and Alcohol

This slice of life deals with abandonment, loss of loved ones, the struggle to make friends, the complicated feelings that come from being uprooted and moving to a new place, and the loneliness of old age in a way that's comforting and easy to understand. There is also brief discussion about the effects prison, war, and addiction have on a person. It's not too much for a child to process and it's a sweet kind of melancholy to read as an adult.
Moderate: Grief
Minor: Alcoholism, Death, Child death, Bullying, Abandonment, Death of parent, War, Ableism, Addiction, and Slavery
